The Wolf Lord couldn't help but frowned as he looked at a group of people hesitating and not daring to speak.
"Tell me, if you can't explain it today, I will kill one person every time an incense stick of time passes." The Wolf Lord sat in his seat, looking at the scholars below with a cold face.
He called these people here to ask them to analyze why businessmen suddenly became afraid to do business.
Although the current business is just trade between a few counties, Muyun City and the grassland, what Wolves care about most is the normal order.
To a certain extent, these businessmen can also make up for some logistical deficiencies.
What the Wolf Lord wanted was to have a stable base when he reached the front line.
A scholar gritted his teeth and stood up.
Said that there will be revenge.
If I don’t tell you, I don’t know how many people will die…
I've been a coward once before, so I can't be a coward again this time.
"Wolf Lord..." The scholar raised his head and looked at the Wolf Lord: "I'm afraid it's because the Chief Secretary of Muyun Mansion punished two businessmen in the county government, making them afraid to do business."
"This sends a signal that if there is competition, the grassland people will definitely side with the grassland people."
"In this case, doing business is like seeking death..."
"What?" The Wolf Lord's eyes widened. "Before I went into seclusion, I gave an order to treat these merchants from Da Zhou well. Did he take my words as bullshit?"
The people below lowered their heads and dared not speak.
"Bring Ashige to me!" The Wolf Lord slammed the table and it broke into pieces.
Soon, the scholars were temporarily driven away and Ashig was brought over.
After seeing the Wolf Lord, Ashige pounded his chest with a sad face and whispered: "Wolf Lord, I recommended Agudamu. It was my fault that he lost this time!"
“Although the enemy has a thousand elite cavalrymen, led by a Zhoutian realm cultivator, and two Shenhai realm cultivators, we are defeated if we lose…”
Faced with such a major event, he no longer cared about the missing five soldiers.
Or rather, he had forgotten about that little thing.
"What a mess..." The Wolf Lord didn't even know that there were small groups of enemy troops wreaking havoc outside: "Let me ask you, did you deal with the merchants of Da Zhou?"
"Yes..." When Ashiger saw that the Wolf Lord was not talking about losing the battle, he couldn't understand what was going on.
This is also the chaos of the grassland military system.
Every captain of ten thousand men managed his own soldiers well, and the other wolf lords never did so.
"Didn't I give the order to treat the merchants from the Great Zhou well?" The Wolf Lord's tone carried a hint of murderous intent.
"Wolf Lord!" Ashiger raised his head and looked directly at the Wolf Lord: "After those merchants entered the city, they were arrogant and condescending because of the policy."
"If there is any trivial matter, go to the county government to file a complaint. With the permission of the Wolf Lord, we grassland people can only suffer in silence!"
"Lord Wolf, I don't understand. Why? Why are the merchants of the Great Zhou superior to others, while we are inferior?"
"We are the winners, not the losers. Why should we indulge the bad habits of those Great Zhou merchants?"
"There has been a lot of complaints in the city. If we don't help our own people, people will lose their morale!"
"Because they are useful!" The Wolf Lord's anger subsided a little.
Although Ashige was ignorant and made a big mistake, his starting point was still for the grassland.
He's just stupid, not evil.
"We grassland people live in a harsh climate. We only know how to fight and nothing else." The Wolf Lord patiently explained: "How many merchants can there be on the grassland? When we need help, we still have to use the merchants of the Great Zhou!"
"Merchants and scholars, they can make up for our shortcomings!"
"They are our captives and our slaves, and this is what they should do!" Ashige retorted.
"Hmph, captives and slaves. If we only treat them as these, will they work for us seriously? Will they work for us wholeheartedly?" The Wolf Lord had a look of disappointment on his face.
"If they don't do their job well, they will be killed! We will set up a competition mechanism, and those who do well will be employed, and those who don't will be killed. I wonder if they will do their job well!" Ashige stepped forward and said, "The Zhou people are greedy for life and afraid of death. As long as we are ruthless enough, we don't have to worry about them not working hard!"
"You..." The wolf lord looked at Ashige as if he was looking at a curly-haired baboon.
He found it a little unbelievable. How could there be such a stupid leader?
In Zhao Ge's words, when the rule of the Zhou Dynasty was overthrown, it was because the officials forced the people to rebel and the Zhou people could no longer survive.
At that time, the big sects were nearly extinct, and those monks who wanted to avenge their sects were either active or dormant. Countless reclusive monks jumped out one after another, and they endured and practiced under the noses of the grassland people and became killing gods. The monks and the people united, and then Zhou Taizu and the King of Zhenbei rose up, and then overthrew the grassland.
If that kind of coercive policy is implemented, it will only disgust the Zhou people and hinder the rule of the grassland!
"You really have no sense of the overall situation." The Wolf Lord shook his head in disappointment: "Ashige, I still have high hopes for you. I wanted to wait until you reach the Divine Wandering Realm and then directly promote you to the position of Captain of Ten Thousand Men..."
"Wolf Lord, I don't care about being the leader of ten thousand men, but I care about the interests of the people on the grassland, and I care about my family!" Ashige said righteously.
He is not pretending, he is really thinking about the people of the grassland.
"Okay, okay, it seems that I can't explain it to you clearly. I will investigate this matter thoroughly to see who is right and who is wrong..."
…………
In the evening, when Shen Lang returned to the city, he found many people running towards the county government office.
Shen Lang grabbed a man and asked, "Brother, what's wrong?"
"Sir..." The Central Plains man was shocked to see Shen Lang wearing grassland clothes. He lowered his head and explained: "They said they want to deal with a high-ranking official from the grassland..."
Shen Lang was stunned for a moment, then followed the crowd.
There were huge crowds of people near the county government office, and many of them were pointing and talking.
I saw that Ashig's hands were tied and a rope was tied to his hands, hanging him in the air.
He had an angry look on his face, his upper body was naked, his clothes were tied at his waist, and his collar and sleeves were hanging down.
There were several bloody whip marks on his body, which was a very popular form of whipping on the grassland.
Looking beside him, two merchants from the grassland had also had their shirts stripped off, their bodies were covered with whip marks, and they seemed to be dying.
"Everyone!" A grassland man wearing a dragon skin stood at the gate of the county government and shouted, "Ashige handled the case unfairly before, resulting in two merchants from the Central Plains being wrongly accused."
"The great wizard went back in time and restored the whole truth of the matter!"
"It has now been found out that these two grassland merchants robbed the Central Plains merchants of their goods!"
"Ashiq will be severely punished just like them."
"The government will compensate merchants three times the damage they inflicted."
"We on the grassland will never wrongly accuse a good person, nor a bad person!"
"We hope that during the war, merchants can continue to trade normally, just like during the civil war in the Central Plains."
"We will protect the rights and interests of merchants, and will never interfere with their interests, let alone persecute them..."
Looking at the scene in front of him, Shen Lang raised the corner of his mouth.
He staggered and moved towards the grassland people's camp.
"Isn't this too much?"
"Chief Ashige was tied up because he saw that those merchants from the Central Plains had gone too far and wanted to vent his anger on us?"
"People from the Central Plains are human beings, but people from the grasslands are not human beings?"
"Is the Wolf Lord trying to satisfy himself, or is he really fighting for the grassland?"
"Shh, keep your voice down. Don't dare to say anything bad about the Wolf Lord now."
"I don't even want to join the army. After we win, will it be for the Central Plains people or the grassland people?"
"Look at their behavior, I..."
This grassland man seemed to have a bit of a bad temper, and he could no longer hold down the scimitar at his waist.
Shen Lang quickly held his wrist and said, "Calm down. Now is not the time for a conflict. Otherwise, they will definitely side with the Central Plains people."
"Isn't the Wolf Lord afraid that Changshengtian will punish him for this?" the grassland man said gritting his teeth.
Shen Lang followed their gaze.
All the merchants from the Central Plains were smiling and looking at the people of the grassland arrogantly, as if saying: We won!
If Shen Lang were to stand from the grassland people’s perspective, he would be furious.
However, looking at the scene in front of him, Shen Lang just wanted to laugh.
Just accept this conspiracy, one after another without saying a word.
Shen Lang has been interested in historical stories since he was a child. He has watched two versions of the TV series "The Three Kingdoms" and read a lot of related novels.
If you ask him who his favorite counselor is, it must be Jia Xu...
Doing things that harm the harmony of nature but not the harmony of culture is what a wise counselor does.
Shen Lang even felt that Jia Xu, whose life was in danger, was more powerful than Zhuge Liang...
After all, the lower limit is so low that anything can be done.
Shen Lang's plan was an open conspiracy.
As long as Ashige agrees with me and punishes the merchants from the Central Plains, no matter how the grassland people deal with it, they will be the ones who suffer!
Credibility is hard to build, but very easy to destroy.
If Ashige is punished, the grassland will lose some of its own people's support.
If Ashige is not punished, merchants from the Central Plains will definitely not be willing to do business here again.
Now that Ashiq has been punished, the plan has been accomplished.
However, could that great wizard actually know such advanced magic as time travel?
Time goes back. This is a spell that can only be performed by the soul in the realm of wandering, and it must be learned by specific people.
Among the cultivators, only sorcerers know this kind of magic. They all focus on divination. For example, Master Yuan, whom Zhao Qingyang relies on the most, knows this kind of magic.
If the sorcerer went back in time to investigate the five missing soldiers...
Shen Lang's expression gradually became solemn.
Normally, those who are strong in the Divine Wandering Realm have more things to do. At the very least, they have to practice. They will not be used unless it is absolutely necessary.
However, this is an extraordinary period and anything can happen, so we still have to find a way to evacuate quickly.
"It's unfair..."
At this moment, a cry brought Shen Lang back to his senses.
Ajima was seen hugging the pillar where Ashige was hanging, crying and shouting: "Ashige was deceived by the traitor, this was not his original intention..."
"Oh? Who deceived him?" The sturdy man wearing dragon skin frowned slightly.
"Aijima!" Ashige shouted, "This has nothing to do with Zhebie. I just thought of it myself!"
"If it weren't for him, if it weren't for him, how could you have done such a thing..." Ajima already regretted introducing Zhebie to Ashige.
It was true that she liked Shen Lang, but Shen Lang was an outsider after all, and Ashige was her husband.
Ajima thought about how he had been so good to Zhebe and had given him the secrets of archery and horsemanship, but Zhebe had caused Ashige to be hung up...
She even wanted to kill Shen Lang.
Chapter 165 Becoming a hero?
"Since it was someone else who instigated it, then bring him here for confrontation." The grassland leader actually didn't care who was right or wrong, he just cared about making this happen.
But, Ajima took it seriously.
"I will definitely find him. If it weren't for him, my husband wouldn't be like this..."
"Aijima, this is what I meant!" Ashige was angry.
He did dislike Zhebie, but some things were done by him and there was no need to blame Zhebie.
"I'll go find it right away!" After saying that, Ajima ran towards Tianyuan Street in a hurry.
Shen Lang couldn't help feeling guilty when he saw this.
He had seen Azima's strength before, and he was no match for her at all.
