Chapter 1318 1318: Like the Bastard in the Wishing Fountain (Part 2) [Please vote]
How can there be new usury money?
This issue starts from the day before.
Cui Zhi's cousin is a decisive person. Shen Tang ordered someone to send the portrait just one day before the other party responded.
The other party liked three people, two of whom were in the army and the other one was in Fengluo. Shen Tang glanced at the list: "My sister has good taste. These three are all good. They are the best of the best."
Cui Zhi seemed to have broken the jar.
Can Ran smiled and asked if the three of them were getting married.
These information are not updated in real time. In the meantime, someone may have been captured and made a son-in-law. If they are not married yet, they can arrange a meeting. To be honest, Cui Zhi was also moved. The three of them are either from a small clan or have no father or mother. After discussion, they can also let the man marry. Cui Zhi's retirement is a certainty. Only when he retires will all the old grudges from the past be completely wiped out, and brothers Cui Xiong and Cui Mi will officially take power.
Cui Zhi believed in his son, but he also wanted to pave the way for them.
At least, don’t go too bumpy.
Cui has made too many enemies and needs to win over new allies.
Recruiting is one of the reasonable channels.
"Except for Feng Luo, the other two are still single."
Feng Luo was left behind because his old mother suddenly became seriously ill. He was raised by a widowed mother, and the relationship between mother and son Very deeply, Shen Tang rejected his request to go out with the army out of humanistic concerns. There are still opportunities to go to the battlefield and make contributions, but this is the only one for the old mother.
Accompany her to the end and leave no regrets to both parties.
But the regret of the widowed mother was not only that she saw her son waiting at the bedside before she died, she asked her son to look at him with an ice man, she quickly decided on a candidate for marriage, and she passed away with a smile on her face half a month later. Why does Shen Tang know so clearly? Because Qi Shan told me about this.
The Qishan Society knew about it because the betrothed woman was an official of Zhongshu Province and a concubine in the family of Zhongshu She. During the regular communication and report with Shen Tang, I mentioned it. Shen Tang's idea is that this person from Zhongshushe is not clear-headed and looks for opportunities to rise and fall covertly.
The wish of the man’s widowed mother is quite selfish, but it is also reasonable. The situation is different for the woman’s elder who agreed to the marriage. It is purely a disease of the brain. The daughter was wronged for a dying man, the marriage proposal was hasty, the marriage was simple and unseemly, the widowed mother died of illness in half a month, and the woman who got married had to live in a filial piety.
As a father, could he act out of love for his children?
It’s just to get a son-in-law with investment value.
For this reason, he uses his daughter as a bargaining chip to barter.
How can a person with such evil intentions be worthy of the important position of Zhongshushe? I am simply blinded by profit lard!
Qishan received a reply and demoted him away after a month.
At this moment, I still don’t know where I offended my immediate boss. I vented my bitterness to the censor with whom I was close in private, and Qi Shan and the censor Taiwan were scolding each other on a daily basis. The excitement was even worse than on the front line.
Oh, this censor was also scolded by Gu Chi.
Cui Zhi obviously didn't know the details of these bizarre twists and turns, and he wasn't too disappointed when he heard that the one who stayed behind in the capital was married. The cousin is more interested in the other two, who are younger and more handsome - judging from the portraits.
Shen Tang heard Cui Zhi’s distrust of the portrait.
She said: "Don't worry, no one dares to lie to me."
She has seen two sides of the two parties, two different styles, one is a sunny man and the other is a masculine ranger wind.
Both are die-hard fans of Gong Xiqiu.
Well, this can see why they are single when they reach marriageable age, and they are still keen to run to the battlefield. For the opportunity to fight side by side with their idols at close range, these two also worked very hard.
Shen Tang spat out the melon seed rinds: "Let's make arrangements for today."
It's better to choose a day than to hit it, today is just right.
Cui Zhi was caught off guard by her: "Today?"
No, are you so anxious?
Shen Tang raised his eyebrows and asked: "Otherwise, why don't you just set aside a day to go on a blind date? Zhishan, you are so busy now, how can you have so much free time? I am going to the countryside for inspection today, and I will take them both with me later. You can also take them with me. Pretending to pass by your cousin, we can meet each other and get along naturally, which will further reveal the compatibility between the two parties."
Cui Zhi: "..."
Such wild blind dates only happen in the market. People have seen it.
No, people in the market are not that rough.
Shen Tang saw the disgust in his eyes, and said in a faint tone: "Cui's parents don't know the sufferings of the world. If it is really the lawless routine of those in the countryside, they just lock men and women in the same place. It doesn't matter. We are civilized people if we don’t open the door.”
Cui Zhi: "...Is this happening?"
Shen Tang raised his head and thought for a moment: "Yes, yes. Later, the man was sentenced to external kidney flogging, and both parents were also sentenced."
As we all know, Shen Tang likes to stroll.
Not only do I like to stroll, but I also like to take the officials of the royal court to stroll with me. When strolling, I can always trigger certain NPC events like the players. The cause of the incident was that people from the Bibu Division of the Punishment Department ran away for game. Several people accidentally got lost. It took them a long time to find an inhabited village. When they were borrowing water from the villagers, they heard a miserable cry for help. They heard the noise and wanted to go and rescue them. However, he was stopped by the villagers, so he started fighting with the villagers. The villagers didn't have any scruples, but a few people couldn't kill it, so they all failed.
Kang Shi saw several people dumbfounded.
When several people saw Kang Shi, it was like seeing their old father.
Everyone was crying and sobbing.
Finally, Kang Shi borrowed people to confiscate the whole village.
The two young men bit each other to death. This was just the uncontrollable behavior of two young people after they saw each other. Local customs have always been like this. How can it be considered a crime? Shen Tang was almost laughed out of anger and asked Kang Shi to be severely punished. Killing chickens to scare monkeys, to serve as a warning to others, is not enough to deter bad customs! Even though both parents were imprisoned, the thugs were not frightened until they were punished by being flogged in public!
Cui Zhi’s face almost twitched.
"The punishment of external kidney whipping?"
Kang State still has this punishment? ? ?
Just hearing the name can cause phantom pain.
"Well, the spectators came back and said that both of them were beaten to death."
The picture was cruel and inhumane, but the shock effect was surprisingly good. After this incident, such bad behavior disappeared in the local area, and no ice man with a bad conscience dared to instigate it again. Parents who have boys at home don't dare to have such an idea again.
Kang Shi was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately proposed to join the Kangguo Criminal Law.
Cui Zhi: "...it opened Cui's eyes."
Resolving the people who caused violence can indeed achieve immediate results.
This is how the blind date process was decided.
The two were summoned by Shen Tang, and each of them was flattered. They are considered young and promising, but it is still difficult to meet Shen Tang. Shen Tang remembered them, which made them even more excited and at a loss. Shen Tang also directly explained the purpose, which was just a blind date.
The woman is a daughter of the Cui family, with a good background and a tolerant personality.
The two looked at each other in confusion for a moment, and said nonchalantly: "Two?"
To be more serious, this marriage has the nature of appeasement and political significance, and it can also be regarded as a "marriage". kind.
But, wouldn’t it be bad to send both of them there to “make peace”?
Cui is so powerful, is it worthy of Kang Guo’s sacrifice?
Shen Tang immediately understood what they meant and explained: "Nvjun Cui has seen your portraits and feels admiration for her, but after all, she has not seen the real person. You still have to get in touch with the real person to know. This is not mandatory, you can also take a look. How about the lady?"
This answer reassured the two of them. To accept one woman and two husbands, one has to look at who the “woman” is.
The other party is just an ordinary girl from aristocratic family. With their abilities and talents, there is really no need to wrong themselves like this. The Lord only said that he wanted to take a look, and the two of them did not dress up specially. Coupled with the fact that General Gongxi was with him, all the unhappiness disappeared.
A blind date in exchange for an opportunity to have close contact with an idol is a good deal no matter how you look at it, but Gong Xiqiu is not happy with it.
But it soon became apparent that it was too early for her liking.
The two young men all gathered around the eldest brother.
Gong Xiqiu said with a stinky face: "Don't they have a brother?"
Shen Tang said: "Maybe, really no?"
Both of them are the eldest sons in the family.
Gong Xiqiu: "..."
The topographic conditions of King Qi's capital in the southwest are considered to be the best. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces a relatively flat plain. It is crisscrossed by waterways and can be regarded as a piece of land. A good place for both offense and defense. Shen Tang personally brought people over to inspect it, also wanting to see where it could be better developed. All the nearby farmland that can be cultivated has been developed. Perhaps other routes can be used to make up for the economic shortcomings, such as developing waterways? Will several nearby states and counties be revitalized? As a result, new conflicts will also arise...
Qin Li looked at the high-definition satellite map carefully.
“My lord’s idea is feasible. In the past, these states were in the hands of different countries. Countries fought with each other and almost wanted to kill each other. They blocked or changed waterways and could not give other countries any advantage. Original Some waterways have been damaged... This is also one of the reasons for frequent flooding in places in the southwest..."
Part of it is due to natural disasters, but most of them are man-made disasters.
Different countries can carve up these places and use means to transform various waterways, but as far as God is concerned, what are the differences between countries? All treated equally! Natural disasters often affect a large area. All countries know this, but they are unwilling to change it.
Shen Tang couldn't help but complain: "If they had such a selfless idea as 'everyone is for me and I am for everyone', how could there be such a tragic situation of starvation and death in the wilderness? The world would have been unified long ago... For people Generally speaking, a win-lose situation is greater than a win-win situation. ”
Every country’s national power is strong, which means it is weak.
Every country suffers from natural disasters, which means it is not weakened.
Perhaps it was because it was close to the capital of King Qi, and the scenery of the nearby mountains and rivers was quite good. Shen Tang took the people for a stroll near the field ridge, and saw the low-key Cui family's carriage all the way away. Well, the other party to the blind date came, and Shen Tang, the matchmaker, happily came over.
The two "marriage" candidates followed suit.
When they arrived, Cui's daughter was playing with the children of the farmer's family. I don't know what childish words the children said. A slight smile appeared on her plain face, which was no longer dull, but more colorful. .
Cui Zhi then "saw" Shen Tang and stepped forward to salute.
Cui's daughter also slowly followed up to pay her respects.
This was all a planned process, but when Shen Tang saw the smile on Cui Zhi's face, he always felt that something was not right. Without thinking much, Shen Tang found an excuse to call Cui Zhi aside, leaving space for the young man. As soon as Qin Li and Jimo Qiu came over, they heard Shen Tang ask: "Zhishan, why do I think you were smiling a little weird just now?"
It's not like seeing a satisfied CP's smile, it's like the plan succeeded.
Cui Zhi said calmly: "Shen Jun misunderstood. Cui was very satisfied when he saw these two talents, so he beamed with joy."
Shen Tang squinted at him: "You lied Ghost? "
"...Doesn't the Ministry of Rites have any objection to Mr. Shen's words? "
The words are too rough.
Qin Li: "I am not talented, but I am the Minister of Rites."
Cui Zhi: "..."
In an instant, he brewed countless complaints but didn't know which sentence to start with. First of all, is Kang Guo's painting style too Caotai team? Apparently, his decision to retire was right.
The atmosphere of the blind date between the three of them was acceptable.
Except for being a little embarrassed at first, it got much better after that.
The two of them took the matter seriously as a business matter with the idea of "making love as a couple". Cui Nvjun was resentful of her ex-husband's family's indifferent treatment, and she also tried her best to avenge her previous shame. What could be more satisfying than getting married in a glorious marriage after being divorced?
After a conversation, my mood was a little different.
I have to admit that both young people are extremely considerate of other people's emotions. They are knowledgeable but not arrogant, and they will not use their own knowledge to despise her ignorance. After all, the environments they live in are different. Within the scope of Cui Nujun's life, the two of them are also ignorant. In addition to these differences, there are also many common topics, such as poetry, books, wine and tea hobbies.
While chatting, one of them found an excuse to quit.
Colleagues chat better with Cui Nujun.
If it can be done, it will be a good story.
He was about to report the matter back to the Lord.
Shen Tang and his party rested at the head of a nearby village. As soon as they passed by, they smelled a solemn atmosphere in the air. Before they had taken two steps, the idol grabbed his shoulders and left him: "Don't get into trouble at this time. . ”
“General? What happened?”
Mr. The soldier next to Qiu glanced at the crowd, pinched his throat and whispered: "The villagers enthusiastically called the Lord to come up and take a drink of water. As soon as he took two sips of water, he saw a group of gangsters coming to the end of the village to collect debts, and drove people from the end of the village to the village. Head. The son of the family who was beaten was a gambler. He borrowed usury money and was charged with paying back the debt within seven days.”
"Usury money? Debt collection?"
On the surface, usury money has disappeared in Kangguo, but outside Kangguo, it is a hugely profitable business, and some big families have made their fortunes by relying on their ancestors' loan sharking. When the Lord comes, those who make loan sharks have a bit of a wink, and they should consciously rein in their tails.
How did you bump into the Lord?
I don’t know whether to call it bold or unlucky.
“He even cut off the debtor’s leg.” Driven by the desire to survive, the gambler dragged out a bloody path.
If you can't pay it back, you can only use other things to pay it off.
This family does not have a daughter, but they have a young son.
The debt collector took away the younger son and the gambler's wife.
The gambler’s mother was still able to give birth, and the young son’s facial features were pretty good, and he would be able to receive customers after two years of raising him. The gambler’s father was pushed and hit a rock during a dispute and died. There are more than 20 gangsters in the gang, and each one of them is carrying something. How can ordinary farmers dare to mess with them? But there was a giant Buddha at the scene that they couldn't afford to mess with!
The Lord arrested everyone for questioning.
Hearing the keyword, Shen Tang raised his eyebrows.
“Usury money? What day did you borrow it?”
The gambler had one of his legs chopped off and lost too much blood, but his life was good. There was Xinglin doctor when Shen Tang went out. He followed and stopped his bleeding in time, saving his life. He was afraid of death, so he trembled and replied: "Xiao... Xiaomin borrowed it eight days ago..."
"Eight days ago?"
Shen Tang counted the time with his fingers.
Then he asked: "Which casino lent it to you?"
The gambler did not dare not answer: "It's the one in Yangxiang in the east of the city."
Shen Tang glanced at Cui Zhi's face from the corner of his eye. The latter was calm as if the matter had nothing to do with him, but she didn't miss the flash of cruelty in his eyes.
“Oh, check it out.”

This drama should eventually point to Cui Long and deal with the Cui family, but Cui Zhi found out in advance and transferred the person. Tangmei also took the opportunity to perform an operation, kill the chicken to scare the monkey, and scrape a sum of money.
