Thanks to book friend Yuyun, Xiaoyun for the reward!

……

Between Zhao Wuxi and Wei, there is only a layer of veil that has not been pierced, and she does not even deliberately let her avoid taking a bath. Seeing the shy expression of the beauty serving him when changing clothes, the ambiguous atmosphere is not. pretty good. Therefore, Zhao Wuxi also treated Ao as his brother-in-law and was very kind to him.

Sitting on the mat made by the officials, he rubbed his numb legs and said with a smile, "What do you want to tell me?"

Just as Ao was about to speak, he heard someone sing a promise outside the door, and a figure walked in in a dusty manner, bowing his head from a distance, and also said that he had something important to report to the gentleman, and immediately let Ao Jiang to the mouth and swallow again. down.

Zhao Wuxi saw that it was Cheng Wu's son, a young man named Cheng Tuan.

Cheng Tuan was as short as his father, and he studied Wu Zhu with Cheng Wu on weekdays. He was smart and reliable, and he was the person Cheng Wu trusted the most. Zhao Wuxi also felt that this son was more worthy of training than his slightly smaller father, who was a witch.

"Cheng Wu sent you here, why?" Zhao Wuxi guessed that something urgent happened, otherwise Cheng Wu would not have let his son run all the way to find him.

Cheng Tuan looked at Tong Ao, who was still standing beside him, and hesitated.

Zhao Wuxi waved his hand, let Ao go down, and closed the door. With a depressed face, Tong Ao squatted outside the door, entangled.

Inside the lintel, Cheng Tuan briefly recounted the matter.

It turned out that after Cheng Weng's funeral, Uncle Cheng left with Cheng He. There were two eyeliners placed by Cheng Wu. They went to Dongxiang where Zhao Zhongxin was located. Whenever he went to Gongyi City, he would find an opportunity to secretly hand over to Cheng Tuan. .

Yesterday evening, the man brought a piece of news, saying that the gentleman Zhongxin had been to Xixiang where the gentleman Shuqi was located many times recently, and the two had close contacts.

On the other side, Cheng Wu also noticed that a few members of the Cheng clan who had not left were behaving abnormally after returning from the market. He immediately informed Yang Tongrong and Mu Xia, who were left behind, and secretly took a severe torture test. Only then did he learn that it seemed that Zhao Zhongxin and Cheng He would make some moves against Chengxiang in the near future!

"Action? What do they want to do?"

The two brothers saw that Zhao Wuxie was getting a thousand stones of corn every day and got pink eye disease.

Wu Xie couldn't help but sigh, the desire for the prince and power made them lose their minds. He worked hard for the strength of Zhao's family. In the coming year, the implementation of Zhao's township model will be enough to double Zhao's economy, but these two cheap brothers are going to destroy the Great Wall themselves. They are really pig teammates.

Cheng Tuan also said that according to the confession of the Cheng clan, Zhao Shuqi also had his own counselor in Chengxiang, and it seemed that his position was not low!

Zhao Wuxi pondered silently, his mind drifting over the heads of several suspicious candidates.

Once the suspicion takes root, it will get out of hand. Except for the old team Mu Xia and Yu Xi, almost everyone is suspicious.

However, his doubts did not last long.

When Cheng Tuan told him to retreat, Tong Ao, who had been waiting outside the door, slammed his head in, bowed his head on the ground, and said anxiously, "Gentleman, I really have something very urgent to report!"

……

On the first day of June, there was only a crescent moon hanging in the night sky, and the fields were dark.

On weekdays, the Xiangsi, who had to continue working until late at night, finally extinguished the lights and firewood, and closed the door. From the outside, he could only vaguely see the outline of the building in darkness.

But if someone can look over the wall, they will find that inside the seemingly peaceful village temple, there is a dense cold light of swords shining!

In the courtyard, there are dozens of elite Zhao soldiers, nearly half of them are wearing armor and holding swords such as daggers and spears. After they returned to their residence in the evening, they received an order from the township Sima.

This is an extremely honorable thing, and they naturally agreed to it, but after they came in, they realized that the atmosphere was not quite right. Dozens of pairs of eyes are bright and doubtful, all looking at their master, the gentleman of the Zhao family!

Zhao Wuxi also put on two thick leather armor, a composite leather helmet, a red tassel tied under his chin, and a Shaoya sword on his waist, an indescribable young hero.

He frowned tightly, stood upright like a sword, and quietly looked at the hourglass on the table.

Yang Tong Rong and Zhao Guang De Rong served to the left and right, and even Ji Qiao, the literate official, also put on armor, staring at the hourglass while looking up at the night cast in the patio.

Zhao Guangde couldn't bear it anymore, he cupped his hands and said to Zhao Wuxi, "Cousin, we can't wait any longer! Please give your order quickly!"

Ji Qiao also echoed: "Cangbin's government is an important place, where two thousand people in a township depend on food, clothing, food, and life. You can't take risks, gentleman!"

Only Yang Tongrong didn't speak. Today, the gentleman specially ordered him to be the commander of his personal guard. He seemed to trust him, but in fact he was monitoring him.

This is also a helpless move, Yang Tong Rong is not the original team of Zhao Wuxi. Moreover, the person with rebellious tendencies is still under his command, and he is elected to the army, praised in front of the gentleman, and recommended by him to be promoted to two Sima... Zhao's family law stipulates that if the recommender is wrong, the The Lord will also be punished.

As for the right to defend against the enemy outside, it was handed over to those two people who could never give birth to the heart of betrayal.

Zhao Wuxi glanced at them lightly, and said, "There is Mu Xia in charge of the treasury; Wangsun is in charge of the craftsmanship area; Chengwu is under the supervision of Chengshi Sili, and the rest of Dou, Sang, There is a patriarch Lixu who stays behind in every li of Jiajia. If there is really a Xiaoxiao who dares to make trouble, and all the people from the village and temple rush out together, it will be a situation of catching turtles in the urn, why should you be at a loss?"

Seeing that everyone was still a little nervous, Zhao Wuxi couldn't help but smile and told them a story.

"In the past, Duke Mu of Qin lost his mount~www.readwn.com~ There were three hundred savages at the foot of Qishan, and they got the horses and shared them. When Duke Mu of Qin heard this, he said: Stop! Gentlemen do not kill people because of livestock, and I have heard that if those who eat horse meat don't drink alcohol, they will hurt their internal organs. I gave three hundred savages to drink it together."

Following Zhao Wuxi's narration, everyone's nervousness gradually eased.

"In the next three years, Duke Mu of Qin attacked Jin and fought with Duke Hui of Jin in Hanyuan. Three hundred savages accompanied him. At that time, Duke Mu of Qin was trapped by the Jin army, so the three hundred men charged to the death and rescued Duke Mu and returned. In return for the virtue of food and horses and wine. So Duke Mu defeated the Jin division in Hanyuan, and returned to Duke Hui of Jin..."

"I have heard a saying that in a town of ten houses, there must be loyal men. Isn't that the case with people in the field? When cooking, you have to listen to your cousin, and when you live within your means, you have to listen to Mr. Ji. When it comes to big things, it's still up to me to decide! Second and third sons, rest in peace!"

Everyone was awe-inspiring, and they only complied with their promises.

Zhao Wuxi was calm on the surface, but a little irritable on the inside. Even though he believed that he had a good eye for people, the behavior of that person was indeed going further and further on the road of betrayal.

Well, in half an hour, the time will come, and he has given him enough opportunities, so he can be considered to be benevolent and righteous.

What's more, whether he betrayed or not, it was already the details. The main purpose of today is to hide and not show it, to blow up the remaining opposition forces in Chengxiang together, to give them a urn to catch turtles, and then take this opportunity to implement the reform method that I have planned for a long time!
