After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 869
"And Beja, I know." He Lingchuan laughed, "Beja's name is terrifying, but this is not Beja's territory, it belongs to Panlong City. It is beyond reach, otherwise why would you only send Fu Shanlie to stir up the muddy water? , instead of the army pressing down on the border?"

Takichuan and Bejia are separated by several small countries such as Jinying, and also by Xilao Kingdom. It is indeed very far away.

"As long as the various gangs and factions isolate the Xijiu puppet army and don't get involved with it, I will naturally have a way to deal with it."

Sure enough, in order to deal with the Xixiang puppet army, Yuheng City wanted to buy them off first.

Xu Zeshou pointed to the token on the table: "If we are hired, I mean if, what does Yuheng City want us to do?"

"You charge according to the road section, and you can't raise the price indiscriminately. I will send people to inspect it regularly." He Lingchuan pointed to the map of Takikawa again, "We must maintain the law and order in our respective road sections. Once a business traveler is attacked and damaged, you Your salary will be deducted! In addition, since the road tax belongs to you, the maintenance of the road surface also belongs to you, whether it is mudslides or trestle damage, you have to deal with it in time."

There's nothing to say about this. You have to do things with public money, and the two bandit leaders can't find fault with them.

"When we wiped out the puppet army of Xixiang, all gangs must also contribute their efforts." He Lingchuan said again, "This point can be discussed in detail later."

The two bandit chiefs looked at each other and said, "We're going back to gather the gang and discuss it."

"Of course." He Lingchuan expressed his understanding, "If you are hesitant to make a decision, why not try it for half a month first? You can't buy it at a loss and you can't be fooled."

Indeed, the plans put forward by Yuheng City seem to be the ones of cheap bandits.If they use it first, it won't hurt them.

The tea in front of them was cold, but Xu Tao still didn't dare to drink it.But the tense atmosphere that was tense at the beginning has dissipated at some point.

The two bandit leaders stood up and said goodbye to He Lingchuan politely, and then they turned their heads into the water with a group of subordinates.

As soon as he boarded the boat, Xu Zeshou asked Tao Lin, "Old Tao, what do you think?"

Their relationship was not so good originally. Xu Zeshou also had a nephew who was killed by Qianjinzhai.However, the pressure from Xiqian's puppet army and Fu Shanlie brought the two bandit leaders closer and closer.

"This man surnamed He shouldn't be a fool. He gave so many benefits for the sake of recruiting security!" Tao Lin was also thinking, "He was afraid that we would stand with Fu Shanlie. Come back and say, if we agree to the conditions of Commander He , that is, openly confronting Fushan Lie."

Xu Zeshou also nodded: "Fu Shanlie is the general of Beijia, don't follow his tricks, when the time comes to plunder our territory, we have to protect those fat sheep... I mean the caravan."

Fu Shanlie and the puppet army of Xijiu would never accept Yuheng City's recruitment.Just looking at their backgrounds, they are completely different from other water bandits in Takigawa.

Therefore, the puppet army of Xilong will continue to make trouble on the Takigawa business road.

However, after Qianjinzhai and Qiuhua Gang accepted the official waist card, they not only collected money on the ground, but also had to maintain law and order.

Not only can he not rob the caravan, but he also has to prevent other water bandits from rushing over to rob them.

The water bandits turned into officers and soldiers, and went back to beat the water bandits.How funny this matter is, especially since everyone lives in Takigawa, can the neighbor relationship be harmonious?

But Xu Zeshou gritted his teeth again in a blink of an eye and said: "Fu Shanlie is determined to annex and grow bigger, and he is becoming more and more impolite to us. I heard that he is also a killer in Beijia. If he is allowed to continue to mess around, Tao Zhaizhu, so many The disappearing gangs are a lesson to us.”

Tao Lin hummed.

As the leader of the largest gang in Longchuan, he is also deeply afraid of the Xili puppet army.

After all, the opponent has the backing of Jin Yuguo and Beijia, and his own side is all reckless, so what can we use to compete with others for background?
Unless you also find a backstage, such as Yuheng City.

"As the man surnamed He said, there's no harm in giving it a try." Tao Lin was also a little moved. "Anyway, all the people under my command are here. If Yuheng City dares to pull any tricks, we will counterattack immediately!"

Xu Zeshou smiled and said, "That's right. Then we will throw away the badge and we will go back to Takigawa."

With Qianjinzhai taking the lead, the pressure on the Qiuhua Gang to receive official licenses will be reduced.

It wasn't until they left that He Lingchuan stood up and stretched his waist: "Call work, go back to Yuheng City!"

The door panel turned back and whistled, and many people stood up in shadows on the low hill behind the station.

……

When He Lingchuan returned to Yuheng City, it was already dark.

He went to the City Guard Office to look through the information that Takikawa handed over, and sat down to read it for half a quarter of an hour, when there was a rumbling sound outside, and a bird flapped its wings and came through the window and landed on the table.

The kestrel is coming.

"Master asked me to ask you, are you busy tonight?"

It lives on the back hill where the two live.

He Lingchuan looked at the information piled up like a mountain on his desk:
"not busy."

"She asked you to come home for dinner."

He Lingchuan lifted his spirits, grabbed a few documents and threw them into the storage ring: "Come back now!"

Two quarters of an hour later, he was walking on the winding mountain road home.

At my feet are the lights of thousands of houses in Yuheng City, but looking up, it is pitch black, except for the lanterns at my door which are clearly going on and off in the evening wind.

Autumn is as cold as water, and the mountain roads at night will be covered with dark frost, and it will be slippery if you are not careful.

But looking at the little light above, He Lingchuan walked very comfortably, his boots creaking on the gravel.

that is home.

Walking on this road, his whole body relaxed, and the tension and toil of the day disappeared.Because he knew that it was only a few steps away from home, and he could walk there sooner or later.

There are people at home he wants to see.

The kestrel didn't wait for him, and flew back to its nest early to sleep.

He went through the house without returning, and pushed open the gate of Master Sun's courtyard.

The yard is huge, and the lanterns under the eaves illuminate the nearby hibiscus flowers. The big fat carp in the pond is sleepy, and it just wags its tail lazily when it hears He Lingchuan's footsteps.

There was light in the window, and just as He Lingchuan walked under the eaves, Sun Fuling opened the door to welcome him:

"I'm home?"

There are several fluorescent spore lights in the house, and Master Sun's home is still so orderly.

Looking at the beauty under the lamp, her face felt a little warmer.

"How are you feeling?" He Lingchuan grabbed her hand, but it was still cold.

"Very good, let's wash our hands and eat."

He Lingchuan went to the water tank under the eaves to wash his hands and accompanied her to the kitchen.

Compared with the wooden house in Panlong City, the residence here can be regarded as a mansion. The wing room outside the kitchen was converted into a dining room by Sun Fuling.

Simple and bright, there is a bottle of newly folded dahlias on the desk.

However, a stoneware stove has been placed on the round dining table, with charcoal at the bottom and a lid on top. The soup is already boiling.

He Lingchuan smelled the strange fragrance, and stretched out his hand to uncover the cover, and saw that the inside was reddish-golden, and there were more than half of the pot of sheep and scorpions.

"Hey, let's make a side stove tonight?" It's still a sheep and scorpion pot.

Master Sun did it?It doesn't smell like much.

Sun Fuling seemed to understand what he was saying, and pursed her lips: "The Quanfulou you took me to a few days ago is also in the delivery business. I want a pot."

From the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, this distance is not close.Mrs. Sun is really a little rich woman.

He Lingchuan had good eyesight, and hurried into the kitchen to help, but saw that the beef and mutton were cut into thin slices that could transmit light, and neatly stacked on ten plates.

Master Sun's knife skills are still so excellent.

The two brought the meat and vegetables into the dining room, and He Lingchuan fished the sheep and scorpions to eat.

After eating the meat, it’s time to boil the vegetables.

Sun Fuling picked up the bayberry wine on the side and poured him a full glass.

"Is today going well?"

"It went very well, as expected." He Lingchuan then briefly reported to the leader about the meeting with the two bandit chiefs in the afternoon.

After listening carefully, Sun Fuling smiled and said, "No wonder Mr. Wen is so angry. You are really tolerant of the water bandits."

In front of her, He Lingchuan can complain casually: "Mr. Wen can't figure it out, he always thinks I'm doing useless work."

"You didn't explain it clearly to him, did you?"

He Lingchuan was about to gnaw on the sheep scorpion, but when he heard this, he glanced at her first and understood: "He is looking for you?"

How else would she know?
Sun Fuling took a sip of bayberry wine, and said slowly: "A few days ago, you had a bad conversation with Mr. Wen. Mr. Wen threw up his sleeves and left. Afterwards, he felt reckless, so he came to me as a lobbyist."

Wen Daolun was very aware of the "friendship" between Sun Fuling and He Lingchuan, so he wanted to use her as a middleman to ease the relationship.

"Commander Zhong and General Hong let you go to Yuheng City for training. They probably told Mr. Wen to support you in advance. In the past six months, he should have treated you very well, right? In the end, you pissed him off with just a few words."

"I did it on purpose." He Lingchuan shrugged, "It's not speculative."

"...Are you and Mr. Wen so different?" Wen Daolun's evaluation of He Lingchuan was that he was resourceful but young and energetic.

Young people, who doesn't have a little anger, who doesn't have a little drive, who doesn't think they are right?
"Mr. Wen may not understand what I do, but that's not the point." He Lingchuan ate the meat without looking up, "He wants to take the opportunity to overwhelm me."

"Huh?" Sun Fuling was a little surprised, "What do you mean? Mr. Wen is a good man."

"It has nothing to do with a good person or a bad person, it has to do with where he sits. It's okay for a snake to have no head, but it's also okay for a snake to have two heads. Who should listen to the body of the snake? There must be a priority." He Lingchuan laughed. , "Mr. Wen is in charge of civil affairs, and I am in charge of military affairs. It stands to reason that they are equal. But I am young, and I was newly promoted by Commander Zhong. In Mr. Wen's eyes, I am a late learner. He thinks that I have more seniority than me, so of course I hope I am respectful to him and humbly accept his opinion.”

This is what happens in the workplace and officialdom.Older people and senior people want newcomers to be polite to them.Otherwise, use some eye drops.

Crowds naturally pay attention to sorting.

"Mr. Wen is a respectable elder, and he always wants to teach me." He Lingchuan grabbed his glass and drank it down, "But I am in charge of the army in Yuheng City, and I will be responsible for the safety and security of the people in Yuheng City. We are responsible for the peace of the Takikawa Trade Route, and we must not give in to him again and again."

To put it bluntly, he is now on an equal footing with Wen Daolun, one masters the inside and the other fights the outside.

Wen Daolun wants to be condescending in front of him, wants to discuss seniority and play officialdom?It doesn’t work!
