Aspirations

Chapter 179
Wu Yidong knew in his heart that if he really robbed the county government office, it would be tantamount to rebellion, so he would not do such a down-to-earth thing with no room for maneuver.

"Xia Xianzun was joking. Although I love money, I don't know how to steal it." Wu Yidong did not forget to joke, "Hehe, I would like to congratulate Xia Xianzun for another great service."

"Yuanjia Village's harvest is ten boxes, several million pieces. Liu Changting and Wei Zhongqiang were captured, Fu Ke was found, and even the lady was tied to the barracks. It was also a lot of gains. For example, I got to know Deputy Commander Han. When my lost brother Xia LaiXia went, Commander Wu chased him out of the barracks overnight. Think about it, if it wasn’t for Niangzi and Deputy Commander Han, I don’t know if Commander Wu and Commander Wu would ever see each other.” Xia Xia Xiang continued to talk eloquently, and there were many hidden meanings in and out of the words. I believe Wu Yidong could hear clearly, "There are still a few things that I want to make clear to Commander Wu. Shi Niang fought a trick, her skills were not as good as others, she was seriously injured by Fang Shiniang, and she might not be able to recover. Second, I found out that Xia Laixia had done something to protect Lady Lian, so I decided to reward the two of them and let them follow Master Lu. Book, serve as the entourage of Master Lu."

Xia Xiang's move kills two birds with one stone, allowing Xia Laixia to become a petty official. Although he is not officially born, he can be regarded as entering the official family.Letting the two of them follow Lu Zhiyue is also taking advantage of Lu Zhiyue's Lu family.

"I wonder if Commander Wu is willing to let you go?" Xia Xiang said with a smile, "Of course, I will not treat you badly. Whatever Commander Wu wants, just ask, and I will do my best."

Wu Yidong stopped talking, his eyes were gloomy and his mind was drifting.What Xia Xiang said just now seemed to be casual, but in fact it implied that Ji Feng did not say anything, and even insinuated, warning him that the power of the Star King in Zhending is over, if he is obsessed with it again, he may not even have the chance to turn back.

What kind of person is Wu Yidong? Maybe.Besides, although the emperor is seriously ill, he has not lost the hearts of the people. There are checks and balances from the emperor and King Jing on Xingwang, and there are government officials from all over the world.He doesn't know much about other places, he only knows that Xingwang has been laying out for a long time, but he only achieved initial results in Zhendingyi.

It is said that it has achieved initial results, but in the local area, only Cui Xiang obeys orders, and Xia Xiang is in trouble everywhere, trying his best to prevent the implementation of Xingwang's plan.Among the Forbidden Army, although he promised Xing Wang to raise troops to respond at the critical moment, he was restrained by Han Meng and restrained.

If all goes well, perhaps great things can be accomplished.Right now Xingwang's underground bank was seized by Xia Xiang, and the iron ore was intercepted by Lian Ruohan. He lacked money and weapons, and Liu Changting said that Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan also encountered sniping for the purchase of grain.There are various indications that the real situation is tilting in a very unfavorable direction for Star King.

What's more, Yan Hao, Xingwang's most powerful general, has been abolished, and now Xia Xiang has all the evidence, so the truth can be revealed to the world. When the rumors are loud, how will Xingwang end?

Wu Yidong weighed the pros and cons, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was nothing he could do, and the risk was too great. If he and Xia Xiang were to quarrel with Xia Xiang because of Xia Lai Xia Xia going, and Xia Xiang wrote to the emperor about Lian Ruohan's detainment, he would inevitably be punished. Impeachment, thinking about it, his face changed several times, and he laughed: "It's just two personal soldiers, it's not a big deal, Xia Xianzun said that he was out of touch, and he underestimated this official too much. What's more, Xia Lai It is also their blessing that Xia went to follow Master Lu."

Xia Xiang thought in his heart that Wu Yidong was indeed a treacherous old man. Seeing that the situation was not right, he immediately turned the rudder to the wind and turned the direction of the wind. He chuckled, "How can this be done? I can't let Commander Wu take an empty trip. How about this? This officer has excellent tea and medicinal wine, please Commander Wu to taste it. Although it is not a respect, it can be regarded as a heartfelt gesture."

Wu Yidong accepted it when he saw it was good, pretended to decline a few words, and then accepted it.Then he led people away from the county government office, crossed the Zilong Bridge, and when passing by the government office, he paused for a moment, thought for a while, but still did not knock on the door of the government office.

Not long after Wu Yidong and his party left, a figure poked his head out from the darkness, knocked on the door of the mansion, and said that he wanted to see Cui Fuzun, but was rushed away by the porter.He walked eastward along the river bank in frustration, and after a short walk, he came to the door of a very ordinary house, looked around, and knocked on the door after confirming that there was no one there.

At this time, the third watch had passed, and in the dead of night, the houses were not facing the street, so the surroundings were extremely quiet, and the knocking on the door was extremely ear-piercing.After knocking twice, I heard an impatient response from inside: "Who is it? It's the middle of the night, it's really unsettling."

"Xu County Chancellor, it's the villain Li Xiaosi." Li Xiaosi tried his best to lower his voice, fearing that Xu Heguang wouldn't hear him, "The villain has something important to report."

"Is there such a big deal that we can't talk about it tomorrow?" Xu Heguang stepped on his shoes and opened the door with disheveled hair, and glared at Li Xiaosi, "If it's not a big deal, Li Xiaosi, be careful that I interrupt you. "

"Xu County Chancellor..." Li Xiaosi didn't wait for Xu Heguang to speak, and squeezed in with a slanted body, "Something has happened, something big, Liu Changting and Wei Zhongqiang have been arrested!"

"Who was arrested?" Xu Heguang's eyes were sleepy, and he didn't realize it for a while, "Who was arrested?"

"Liu Changting and Wei Zhongqiang were arrested by Xia Xiang, and Fu Ke was also taken away by Xia Xiang." Li Xiaosi cried with a sad face, "If it wasn't for the villain who got a chance to escape, the villain is also in the county now. It's in the Ya prison. Xu Xiancheng, think of a way quickly, it's terrible, something big is going to happen."

"Have Liu Changting and Wei Zhongqiang been arrested by Xia Xiang?" Xu Heguang came to his senses in an instant, breaking out in a cold sweat, and pulled Li Xiaosi aside, "Come on, follow me to the government office."

"Officer, where are you going in the middle of the night? Don't leave me alone." A woman in close-fitting clothes came out of the room and hugged Xu Heguang's arms. She had picturesque eyes and was quite pretty, but His behavior is frivolous and his eyes are wandering.

It was Xu Heguang's concubine Shi Ranran.

Xu Heguang, who owns the Hedong lion, rarely came to Shi Ranran's house to spend the night today, but he was disturbed and was in a bad mood, so he pushed Shi Ranran away, turned around and left: "It's not too late, report to Cui Fuzun."

Shi Ranran was pushed aside, with an aggrieved expression on his face: "Officer, you hurt my family..."

Xu Heguang didn't have a good face: "What time is it, are you still in the way? If you don't know what you are doing, I will divorce you."

Shi Ranran put away her obsequiousness immediately, and said solemnly: "Officials, be careful on the road. The servants are waiting for the officials to come back after victory."

Xu He and Li Xiaosi left in a hurry without looking back, Shi Ranran looked at Xu Heguang's back, stood there for a long time, sighed suddenly, and closed the courtyard door.

Not long after, Xu Heguang came to the mansion and knocked on the door of the mansion.Cui Xiang was awakened from his dream, and when he heard that Xu Heguang had something urgent to report, he came to the study in plain clothes.Hearing Li Xiaosi finish what happened, he was immediately shocked on the spot!

Fu Ke was discovered by Xia Xiang, but Liu Changting and Wei Zhongqiang were arrested, which was a shocking event. What shocked him even more was that Xia Xiang actually emptied Xingwang's underground bank, which was really daring.

However, Xia Xiang's cleverness is that although the underground bank has millions of dollars, Xingwang will not admit that it is his money. With Xingwang's wisdom, he would rather suffer a dumb loss than declare to the world that he has misbehavior heart of.It's just that Cui Xiang couldn't imagine that Xia Xiang really had the heart to swallow elephants. If it was him, he would at most pretend that he didn't find the underground bank and walk away.Doesn't Xia Xiang know that although millions of money is a huge sum of money, it is a hot potato, no, it should be said to be a fire mine, which will detonate sooner or later, and will blow himself to pieces.

His Royal Highness Xingwang may be able to swallow this bad breath for the time being, and sooner or later, Xia Xiang will repay twice... However, Xia Xiang's life and death are not within the scope of Cui Xiang's consideration. What Cui Xiang is worried about is that the situation has reached the edge of getting out of control , Xia Xiang has completely controlled the initiative, as long as Xia Xiang is willing, he can detonate it at any time, ruining His Royal Highness Xing Wang's grand plan!
what to do?Cui Xiang pondered for a long time, and when he looked up, he saw Xu Heguang and Li Xiaosi waiting intently for him to speak, and he tapped his forehead: "Xu Xiancheng, you sent someone to the capital to deliver the letter overnight, remember, it is urgent for eight hundred miles. "

As soon as he finished speaking, Cui Xiang spread out the paper and ink, and wrote a letter in a flash.Then he marked the words "delivery immediately" on the envelope, and stamped it again.

"Yes." Xu Heguang took the letter, slightly doubtful, "Would it be too much of a fuss?"

"What do you know?" Cui Xiang seldom gets angry, but today he scolded his head and face, "What time is it, you still look forward and backward, how can you make a lot of difference in the future with your personality? You are far behind Xia Xiang. My officer Let me ask you, if it were you, what would you do if you found out about the underground bank?"

"I, I..." Xu Heguang was dumbfounded by the scolding, "I will seize it first, and after reporting it to the lord, I will ask the lord to make a decision."

"Stupid! Pig head!" Cui Xiang wanted to curse a few more words, but felt that it was unnecessary, so he shook his head and said, "Forget it, you should rest first after sending the letter, and let Xia Xiang come to see me tomorrow morning."

"Yes." Xu Heguang originally wanted to ask Li Xiaosi how to deal with it, but seeing Cui Xiang's expression was unkind, he didn't dare to ask further.

After leaving the government office with Li Xiaosi, Xu Heguang went home with a heavy heart after handing over the letter to the servants to post at the post station.After walking for a long time, I looked back and saw that Li Xiaosi was still following behind, and couldn't help being angry: "I'm going home to sleep, do you want to go to bed with me?"

Li Xiaosi was startled, quickly waved his hands and said: "The villain dare not, the villain dare not."

"Get lost!" Xu Heguang raised his leg to kick Li Xiaosi, but Li Xiaosi ran away like a rabbit.

"Damn it, I don't care about killing the donkey. At worst, I will go to Xia Xianzun and surrender." Li Xiaosi walked alone on the street at night, there was no one around, only the rushing of the river, He kicked the stones on the road as he walked, but he didn't know where to go.

After thinking for a long time, Li Xiaosi remembered the refugee gathering places outside the city, and decided to go and hide for a while.He took advantage of the night to come under the gate of the east city, and when the gate opened at dawn, he mixed with the bustling crowd and left the city.

At the same time, on the official road in the south of the city, a fast horse galloped like flying, heading north.One post passes by one post, and the post rides like a shooting star.In Pingming, the truth is fixed, and in the evening, it is the east of the capital...

Just when Kuai Ma arrived at the next post station to change horses, Xia Xiang stepped into the gate of the government office.When Xu Heguang called him to the government office early in the morning, he knew that Li Xiaosi might have informed him.

Xu Heguang followed Xia Xiang, his heart fluttered, and he wanted to ask something, but he didn't dare to speak.When he went to the county office early in the morning, he was confused by the weird eyes and whispering expressions of many people, and he didn't know what happened last night.Later, he caught a confidant of the yamen servant, and after asking a few words, he saw Ma Zhanguo walking towards him, so he didn't ask any more questions.

But he probably knew that both Wu Yidong and Han Meng came to the county government office last night, and then Wu Yidong left angrily, and Han Meng waited another hour before driving away.Xu Heguang was even more worried, knowing that something was wrong, and he was afraid that something big would happen.

Xia Xiang came to Cui Xiang's study, and Cui Xiang had been waiting for a long time.Seeing Cui Xiang's exhausted face and sunken eye sockets, he asked with concern: "Did Cui Fuzun stay up all night last night?"

Cui Xiang didn't stay up all night, but he was sleepless in the middle of the night. After Xu Heguang left, he couldn't sleep anymore, so he read and wrote in the study until dawn.

Cui Xiang waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay, sometimes the official business is difficult, and I think too much, and it's hard to fall asleep, so I read my aspirations in the study. Fortunately, I am accompanied by Xia Xianzun's medicine chair, and I can also replenish some yang, otherwise I will be afraid. I can't hold it anymore, after all, I am getting older and my energy is not as good as before. By the way, Xia Xianzun, medicine chairs and medicine beds have started to be mass-produced?"

Seeing that Cui Xiang did not mention the serious matter and mentioned the medicine chair and medicine bed, Xia Xiang took advantage of the situation and said: "The first batch has just been produced and is being shipped to the capital, and the second batch will be sent to Quanzhou. Next, it will go to sea from Quanzhou and sell to various places in the South China Sea. China. Daxia’s medicine is the best in the world, and it can’t only benefit the people of Daxia, the people overseas are also common people, and it is also a blessing for Daxia to let them experience the long history of Daxia culture from the medicine chair and medicine bed.”

"That's right, Xia County has lofty aspirations and long-term considerations. I admire you very much." These words are from Cui Xiang's heart. In addition to the ambition of being a good doctor, he still has the same feelings as Xia Xiang.

"The honor of the Cui Mansion has won the prize. Serving the country and the people is the lifelong pursuit of my generation of scholars." Xia Xiang also felt a little emotional in his heart. Perhaps in Cui Xiang's eyes, Xing Wang is the wise king. After the king ascends the throne, he can benefit the people.It's a pity that he and Cui Xiang have completely different views on Xingwang. Xingwang is too good at playing tricks and calculating, and lacks the mind that an emperor should have.

The way of an emperor should be a way, not a trick.The avenue is silent, and the avenue is as simple as it is, but Xingwang is too concerned about the use of skills. It seems that there are no omissions, but in fact it is still inferior.

After all, man's calculation is not as good as the sky's calculation. People have a thousand calculations, but the sky has only one calculation.Once the outcome is determined, once the country is determined!
