Blood-quenched mountains and rivers

Yang Wei accepted the Khotan Jade Mine smoothly. It seemed that Kurban took advantage of it. In fact, Yang Wei was a real empty-handed white wolf, and he got the Khotan Jade Mine like a cornucopia without any effort.

At the same time, Yang Wei sent additional troops near the Khotan Jade Mine to prevent Sheng Shicai from suddenly killing the carbine. In order not to startle the snake, Yang Wei's soldiers were all disguised as nomads.

Hetian County seems to be the same as usual, except that the rich man Kurban has more leisure time to hang out in teahouses and restaurants, but Sheng Shicai, who is thousands of miles away, is not so leisurely.

Head Lu was personally sent by Sheng Shicai to investigate the situation at the Hotan Jade Mine. However, a week had passed, and Head Lu had disappeared, and even the situation report that was once every three days had been omitted. Lost, this person disappeared without a trace, it was as if the world had evaporated.

Sheng Shicai couldn't sit still in the office.Blood quenching mountains and rivers 363

Seeing Sheng Shicai's anxious look, the staff officer Huang Dahai approached the ground attentively and said, "You don't have to worry so much, the Khotan area is still relatively peaceful, and there shouldn't be any problems. I think it's possible that Commander Lu encountered other delays on the way. gone."

Sheng Shicai didn't say a word. The Hetian area was indeed peaceful and prosperous, but this was his own credit. He eradicated the horse thieves and bandits near Hetian County. Many forces have turned against each other. All Sheng Shicai did was for the development of the Khotan Jade Mine, and it can be said that he exhausted his energy for this.

But now, Kurban said that the Khotan jade mine collapsed, and the reconstruction work has been going on, but it has not been effective. The suspicious Sheng Shicai has long felt that Kurban is dissatisfied with him, and even more Taking the opportunity to make himself give up the Hetian Jade Mine, this is not so easy for Sheng Shicai who has put in a lot of effort.

After thinking for a long time, Sheng Shi raised his eyebrows and asked, "How is the situation in Hotan County?"

Speaking of this matter, Huang Dahai was overjoyed. He had already guessed that Sheng Shi would pay close attention to the situation in Hetian, so he specially sent people to investigate the situation in Hetian in advance. This is a great opportunity to ask for credit, so he is in a hurry Qianhui reported: "Reporting to the capital, Hetian County is as usual, and the jade mine is still the same."

Sheng Shicai was very dissatisfied with this meaningless answer, and asked in a displeased and low voice: "Could it be that there is nothing wrong? It's no different from before?"

"That's true." Huang Dahai, who is the best at observing words and expressions, racked his brains to recall the investigators' answers, hesitated for a moment, and then said slowly: "If we talk about the difference, it is that there are suddenly many people outside Khotan City. I set up a few tents, thinking that some tribe has herded herds here, and it seems that they have been stationed here temporarily. After all, the weather is getting colder, so they probably came from the north.”

A nomad tent?Sheng Shicai knocked on the table impatiently and said: "This is the situation. As a staff officer, can't you even see this? Remember, it is better to kill one thousand by mistake than to let one go. How can you guarantee that these sudden nomadic Is the nation not a cover-up for Kurban?"

Regarding Sheng Shicai's worries, Huang Dahai couldn't help feeling that he was making a fuss out of a molehill. Sheng Shicai in front of him seemed to be a war, Huang Dahai persuaded with a smile on his face: "Dutong, if this happened to someone else, it might be suspicious, but just by Kur Ben's guts, even if he didn't think he would dare to do such a thing."

There was a sneer on the corner of Sheng Shicai's mouth. In Sheng Shicai's view, Huang Dahai was still too tender, and this staff officer seemed more like a decoration to him.Kurban was terrified of his seeming obedience, but his smooth surface didn't mean anything.On the contrary, everyone has an untouchable place in their hearts. For the common people, it is their basic necessities, for the soldiers, it is force and power, and for the businessmen, it is money and interests.

Kurban was able to make concessions for such a long time, presumably he had reached his limit, and he was even ready to fight himself to the death, which made Sheng Shicai have to be wary.

Huang Dahai didn't notice the subtle expression change on Sheng Shicai's face, and Sheng Shicai didn't respond to this, which made Huang Dahai mistakenly think that Sheng Shicai agreed with his idea, and continued to talk without shame: "However, like Kuer People like Ben have long-term use value, and if we can establish a deeper relationship with him, it would not be a bad thing."

Sheng Shicai finally couldn't hold back, and sneered with disdain: "There is no need for this at all. These treacherous and slippery businessmen don't need to treat them as human beings at all."

Huang Dahai was suddenly speechless when he heard this, and there were many things he wanted to say stuck in his throat like this, and he couldn't say anything.Sheng Shicai kept saying that businessmen like Kurban don't need to be treated as human beings, so what about himself as a councilor?How could it be any better in Sheng Shicai's eyes?

If it weren't for such a strong and weak support, Huang Dahai would even feel worried about Sheng Shicai. It may be difficult for him to gain a foothold in the world with such a character, but he just relies on his strong military strength to do whatever he wants and kill anyone. I don't pay attention to it.

In fact, Huang Dahai guessed wrong.

Sheng Shicai is not someone who doesn't know how to observe words and looks to win over and please.At the beginning, when Sheng Shicai was studying in Japan, Zhang Zuolin of the Feng Dynasty provided financial support for his tuition fees. After Guo Songling's rebellion failed, Zhang Zuolin immediately stopped paying Sheng Shicai's tuition fees.In order to be able to continue his studies in Japan, Sheng Shicai went to great lengths, and as expected, he paid off his painstaking efforts and obtained funding from various sources to allow him to complete his studies in Japan.

Not being able to observe words and expressions does not mean not being able to observe words and expressions. It can be said that Sheng Shicai's defiant attitude today is not unrelated to his asking for help back then. For some people in this world, wanting to climb to The top of the world is because of too much oppression back then. This is also the purpose and reason why Sheng Shi was able to control Xinjiang and become a hegemon here.

Huang Dahai realized that his suggestion was just asking for trouble for Sheng Shicai, but he couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "However, I heard that the youngest daughter of the Kurban family is quite pretty, and she's still herself. I came back from studying in England." Quen Xue Shan He 363

Sheng Shicai was flipping through the documents in his hand, without raising his head, he said: "Whether it is good looks or good looks, they are all playthings after holding real power. Kurban is just a businessman, and the marriage with him has no substance." The meaning of "sex", how can one's mind be "confuse" and "confuse" just because of beauty."

Although Sheng Shicai's words are quite kind, it is not difficult to hear Sheng Shicai's sneer at this suggestion. Huang Dahai let out a sigh of relief, and suddenly a feeling of being unappreciated came to him from the bottom of his heart, suppressing the excitement in his heart. Dissatisfied and whispered: "If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

Sheng Shicai didn't answer, Huang Dahai stood silently for a while before he was about to leave, but just when Huang Dahai arrived at the door, the guard was just about to knock on the door, and the two almost collided, Huang Dahai gave the guard a dissatisfied look, and simply He vented all his dissatisfaction on the guards, and said angrily in a low voice with his eyes wide open: "What are you doing in a hurry? What if you delay the major event of the capital?"

The guard was inexplicably reprimanded, feeling unwilling but dared not answer back, he quickly explained: "Report to Dutong, report to Huang Shenyi, a boy came to see him and said he knew the whereabouts of Commander Lu." --
