The strongest Marquis in history

However, asking his brother to go to the prison to take the blame made Li Chonghu anxious.Previously, he had been persuaded by Zhong Junming, so he listened anyway, and had no urge to reveal his true intentions.

Now, when government officials came to investigate, Li Chonghu couldn't bear it anymore.

Lin Anshun continued: "Li Chonghu, have you ever read a book?"

Li Chonghu said: "I have read it. My Li family has been a scholarly family for generations, and I can read and write."

Lin Anshun said: "You have studied, and you are a master. Such a person can get good arrangements anywhere, and you can be regarded as a talent. Then, why are you willing to live in seclusion in Yonghe Village? This involves One point, what is your identity, Li Chonghu?"

Li Chonghu sighed and said: "My grandfather's name is taboo, surname Li, name Hongzhong."

"Li Hongzhong?"

Lin Anshun murmured twice.

At first, Lin Anshun didn't realize it, but in a blink of an eye, his eyes widened, his face was a little surprised, and he said, "Your grandfather, is the current imperial governor Li Hongzhong?"

Li Hongzhong was an important minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the past.Later, he served under Cao Xuan's command and was still an important minister.Later, he surrendered to the state of Qi and was appointed as the grand tutor by Wang Qi.

This is a false title, which is tantamount to supporting Li Hongzhong.

But no matter what, Li Hongzhong also had a great influence among scholars.

Li Chonghu nodded and said: "Yes, my grandfather is the imperial tutor."

Lin Anshun was keenly aware of Li Chonghu's sigh just now, and said: "You are from the Li family and have moved to Xiangzhou. Logically speaking, you should be among the scholars. Why are you among the common people? Your identity, and your Talent and learning should not be unknown."

Li Chonghu said: "The reason is actually very simple. I am a concubine of the Li family, not a concubine. Every family has a hard-to-recite scripture, and mine is the same. At home, I am hostile and targeted by my aunt everywhere. "

"So, I didn't get any benefits. Instead, I was regarded as an ordinary person and immigrated on behalf of the Li family. Even my aunt even bribed the relationship and said that she wanted to train me so that I would not be directly an official. Opportunity."

"So, when I came to Xiangzhou, I was in Yonghe Village."

Lin Anshun narrowed his eyes.

Li family!

This is a big family.

But for Lin Anshun, he doesn't care about the big family, he only cares about this time.

Li Chonghu is a talented person.

Lin Anshun didn't make a decision immediately, he said directly: "Li Chonghu, I will interrogate the matter of beating someone to death. Now, you go with me to Changping Village upstream. When you see the people in Changping Village, After listening to Changping Village's explanation, the official will then consider how to deal with it."

"Yes!"

Li Chonghu responded immediately.

Lin Anshun looked at Zhong Junming and said, "Zhong Cunzheng, what else do you want to say?"

Zhong Junming sighed, and said, "Lord Lin, I have nothing to say. I know that Li Chonghu has a very high status. I just didn't expect him to have such a high status. I can't keep such a person."

Seeing this, Lin Anshun said, "Since that's the case, Li Chonghu will follow me to Changping Village."

"Yes!"

Li Chonghu responded directly.

Lin Anshun stood up, and left Yonghe Village with his people, heading upstream to Changping Village.

Chapter 1059

Changping Village is an indigenous village in Xiangzhou.

The name of Changping Village was changed locally after Qi State established Jieri County, so the name of Changping Village came into being.

There are more than three hundred people in the village.

There are people in the village, young and old, young and old.In fact, Changping Village in the early days only had more than ten households and more than forty people. It was an extremely small village.Because of the coming of Qi State, the policy towards the common people changed, many people got rid of their status as slaves and were resettled here, and many common people gradually gathered here to live here, and only then did it have the scale it is today.

In the past, the Baixiang Kingdom was dominated by slave owners, and all the people were slaves, and they all worked for the slave owners.Although the common people have their own lives, they are not free and have no property of their own. Everything belongs to the slave owner.

Now, all that has changed.

These things, the aboriginal people in Xiangzhou, are very appreciative.

It's just that everyone has selfish intentions, especially the people from the original Baixiang country have become the people of the Qi country. Although they approve of the Qi country, they are somewhat resistant to the people who immigrated from the Qi country.

Even these people are more selfish for their own benefit.That's exactly why, after the spring drought this year, the people in Changping Village cut off the water source without authorization.

The village official of Changping Village is named Zhao Laifu.

Zhao Laifu's real name is Abona, and he was born as a slave in Baixiang Kingdom.After the Qi State captured the Baixiang State, Zhao Laifu was no longer a slave, because he was gifted in languages, and he was the quickest to become familiar with Qi State's official language, so he became the village official, and even changed his name to Zhao Laifu.

Zhao Laifu didn't have much wisdom, and he didn't have extravagant hopes for the so-called promotion.His idea is very simple, that is, to manage his one-acre three-point land well.

Zhao Laifu was in charge of the people of Changping Village.

It was Zhao Laifu who was planning and thinking for the villagers. In Changping Village, the people respected Zhao Laifu.

Zhao Laifu was sitting in his room now, with a look of sadness on his face.This time, the conflict with Yonghe Village has caused the government to intervene, and even Changping Village has killed people.

If the conflict was not serious and the government had never intervened, Zhao Laifu would not be too worried about this matter.

But now, the situation is different.

Zhao Laifu is very clear that they don't take this matter very seriously.After all, they cut off the water source upstream, causing water shortage in Yonghe Village downstream.The only advantage is not that they took the lead, and they killed more people.

Zhao Laifu was still worried in his heart.

After all, it was the Qi people who offended.

Although they are also Qi people, their identities are different. In the final analysis, they are still of untouchable origin.

This is Zhao Laifu's worry.

When Zhao Laifu was thinking, his woman entered and said, "Husband, please see Zhao Wang."

"Let him in."

Zhao Laifu gave an order.

Zhao Wang was an aborigine from the Baixiang Kingdom in the past, and he was good friends with Zhao Laifu.After Zhao Laifu made a fortune, Zhao Laifu also changed Zhao Wang's name to Zhao Wang, and also asked Zhao Wang to learn the official dialect of Qi State.

The two brothers are quite united in the village.Therefore, the families of the two families are also the richest.

Not long after, Zhao Wang entered.

Zhao Wang is in his early thirties, a little younger than Zhao Laifu, his eyes are extremely agile, and he is quite intelligent.After standing still, he gave a salute, then sat down, and said, "Brother, about the conflict between us and Yonghe Village. I inquired about it, and it seems that this matter has become a big deal. The county guard has never dealt with it, and it is said that it has been reported to all levels. .”

"As for the specifics, it is not clear what stage it has reached. We don't know anyone in our village. I don't know what the situation is now."

There was also a touch of worry in Zhao Wang's tone.

Zhao Laifu said: "You boy, you always have a lot of tricks, tell me, what should you do?"

Zhao Wang leaned forward a little, and said seriously: "Brother, in my opinion, this matter needs to be moved around. The conflict between us and Yonghe Village, whether it is big or not, depends entirely on Lizheng's decision. "

"So, let's go directly to Sun Shang. This person is from Qi. He is the Li Zheng, and it is said that he is quite greedy. As long as Sun Shang is willing to speak to us, then this matter will be easy to handle."

Zhao Laifu said: "This is a way, but I also know that Sun Shang is greedy for money. If you ask him to do something, it can't be solved with a little money."

Zhao Wang said: "The people in our village are still being detained in prison, and all the villagers are waiting for the result. It is true that we can ignore this matter. At most, you will be reprimanded."

"However, if they don't care about their life or death, how will they order the people in the village? How will they mobilize the people in the village. So it's impossible to ignore this matter."

"What's more, in our village, you are the patriarch of the people in Changping Village, the leader and backbone of everyone. If you don't care, on the surface, the people below will not say anything, but behind the scenes, you will definitely be buried."

"Whether this matter can be achieved or not, this matter must be done well."

"Otherwise, people will lose their hearts."

"For this matter, no matter how much money and price you pay, it's worth it. It's a matter of a lifetime, and I can exchange it with a little property. Brother, I think it's worth it."

Zhao Wang seemed very wise, and said: "Brother, don't worry about a little money, we will have a long time in the village. We paid money, but bought people's hearts, so that everyone supports Big Brother, that is the most important thing."

Zhao Laifu pondered for a moment, then made a decision, and said: "You are right, then I will go directly to visit Sun Shang's house now."

"No, no, no!"

Zhao Wang shook his head hastily.

Zhao Laifu said: "What do you mean?"

Zhao Wangdao: "In this situation, it is impossible to go directly to Sun Shang. We have to avoid suspicion. Therefore, I will go there in person and quietly invite Sun Shang to the elder brother's house. You will be in charge of hosting a banquet. Drink first on the wine table to get closer. , then give gold, silver and jewelry, and finally inquire about the situation. As long as the money is in place, everything will be simple, right?"

Zhao Laifu said: "This is a good plan, I will follow your arrangement."

Zhao Wang excitedly said, "I'll make arrangements now."

"Go!"

Zhao Laifu nodded.

Zhao Wang turned around and left, Zhao Laifu was waiting in his house.Time passed little by little, about half an hour later, Zhao Wang and Sun Shang came hand in hand.

Sun Shang's age, less than 30 years old, was very obese.When he walked, his body was bouncing, as if the fat all over his body was about to fall off.

As soon as Sun Shang entered the courtyard, Zhao Laifu invited Sun Shang to sit down at the main seat in the hall, and then asked someone to bring wine and meat. Zhao Laifu picked up the wine bottle and said, "Master Sun, speaking of it, I can be the village official only because of Master Sun's support."

"This glass of wine, I respect you, please!"

"You're welcome, you're welcome."

Sun Shang said: "Although I have my support, I also have your ability."

While talking, Sun Shang drank the wine in his glass.

Zhao Laifu and Zhao Wang took turns to toast, and Sun Shang never refused to come, and soon after three rounds of wine and five flavors, the atmosphere at this time was already quite lively.

Zhao Laifu put down the wine bottle in his hand, sighed and said: "Master Sun, this time there is a fight over the water source. Our Changping Village is also a little wrong, and the water source should not be cut off. I hope Master Sun can give some pointers on this matter."

"Easy to say, easy to say."

Sun Shang replied with a smile, without any restraint, he was very relaxed.

Seeing this, Zhao Laifu scolded Sun Shang in his heart for being greedy, drank wine and ate meat, and did not express his opinion at all.It's just this matter, Zhao Laifu has nothing to do, if he doesn't give some benefits, Sun Shang can't express it.

Zhao Laifu stood up directly, pulled out a box from the side of the hall, put it in front of Sun Shang, and said, "Master Sun, this is a little respect from everyone in our entire Changping Village, thank you Sir help."

Only then did Sun Shang reach out to open the lid of the box, his brows raised, a little surprised.

There were a lot of copper coins in the box, a few silver coins, and two gold bars. The money was actually not much.But here in Jieri County, it is not a small number.

After all, in a small place like Baixiangguo, it was the first time for Sun Shang to see so much money.The several villages under his jurisdiction are all poor and poor, and he needs to save money a little bit by himself.

Now, but earn more.

Sun Shang closed the lid of the box unobtrusively. With a smile on his face, he said, "Zhao Laifu, you are acting like this. I can't accept such money."

Zhao Laifu said: "The reason why our Changping Village is able to exist today is because of Mr. Sun's care. If you don't accept it, how can I explain to the people in the village? Mr. Sun, this is what the villagers of Changping Village and I have said. Mind, you must accept it."

Only then did Sun Shang let go, and said with a smile, "Since that's the case, I'll accept it."

Zhao Laifu said again: "Master Sun deserves it."

"I'll offer another glass of wine to Mr. Sun."

Zhao Laifu picked up the wine bottle again, toasted Sun Shang again, and said: "The wine in my house is really mediocre, please forgive me."

While talking, Zhao Laifu picked up the wine bottle, raised his head and drank it down in one gulp.

Sun Shang laughed and said, "I don't pay attention to these things."

He also drank.

At this time, Sun Shang coughed lightly, Zhao Laifu and Zhao Wang cheered up immediately, they both accompanied the wine and gave money, just to let Sun Shang reveal the news and help out.

Now, it's finally here.

Chapter 1060 Stubbornness

Sun Shang glanced at Zhao Laifu and Zhao Wang, and said in a deep voice: "I am well aware of the conflict in Changping Village this time. According to my point of view, although you did not take the lead this time. However, You cut off the water source upstream, which is untenable both emotionally and rationally."

"That is to say, in this conflict, you didn't make the first move, and you didn't kill many people. Therefore, you still have some advantages, so you won't be dealt with directly."

"This time, it's you who will do it first. Even if you give me money, I dare not accept it, and I can't accept it."

Speaking of this, Sun Shang paused for a while, and continued: "You must all think that I, Sun Shang, are greedy, especially greedy for money, right? Let me tell you, if I take money, it's just doing things for money, and I won't take money If you don’t do things, and you don’t know how to collect money, you can’t do things well. Therefore, I’ll show you a way to do your things, and see how you choose.”
