I'm playing tricks in Daqin

Great reward?Reward what?Gold, silver and jewelry?then what?Xiao Xiaoxiao didn't care about the so-called heavy reward at all. She didn't lack anything, so why did she need so much money?However, Kong Rong desperately lowered her head, her small hands instinctively covered her plump buttocks, and her smooth jade cheeks were as red as the rising sun. How could she feel so embarrassing when she said such embarrassing words in front of everyone?

Fortunately, no one knew why, otherwise, where would she put her face?

Chapter 200 The Catastrophe

Nearly [-] grains from Mr. Zhao Wuye's "charitable donation" arrived. After counting, Jiang Qi, the county magistrate, personally supervised the distribution of grain. Bodhisattva heart.

"grown ups."

The county magistrate Zhou Yi, who came back from the grain, hurried over without even taking a sip of tea. Behind him, there was Lao Zhou Ping, a clan member of his own family, and Li Sanye, a prominent Li family.

Under the county magistrate Qu, he is equivalent to the second in command of a county. Zhou Yi comes from one of the four prominent families in Xinjiang County, the Zhou family, and has a lot of influence among the county masters. Be kind to him too.

In the county government, Zhou Yi can be regarded as a local snake. Jiang Qi, the county magistrate, is like a dragon across the river. Without Zhou Yi's cooperation, it would be difficult for him to start working in this county.

"Zhou Xiancheng, I can't decide this matter, you should go inside and ask that person."

Jiang Qi knew the purpose of Zhou Yi and the others in her heart, and pointed them in the right direction. This was also the explanation given to him by the vice-commander Zhou who was sitting in the town.

"grown ups……"

Zhou Yi's face changed slightly. He thought it was just a trivial matter, but he didn't expect that even the parents and officials of a county can't make decisions, and there is a god in the county government that is bigger than the county magistrate?He didn't know what the background of the person in Chu's town was?I don't know why that person intervened in this matter, is it because he suddenly lost his mind and meddled with a mouse?

Or some other reason.

Jiang Qi squinted her eyes and said some of what Li Wei told him, which was equivalent to revealing some information to Zhou Yi and others. He is very upset now that the offenders are being hanged in the yard by him, ready to be chopped alive.

"Black... the deputy commander of the black-clothed guard?"

Zhou Yi's face was pale and bloodless, and the muscles in his cheeks were twitching. Those bastards could really cause trouble, not only the black-clothed guards, but also a big guy at the deputy commander level. A big guy at this level can directly report to the prime minister. In other words, even the prefect who guards one side can be silent, it is scary to think about it.

The Zhou family is one of the four prominent families in this county. With its prestige and power, it is indeed enough to call the wind and rain in this county, but in the eyes of others, it is nothing. They only need one sentence to wipe out the entire Zhou family , Moreover, a few unsatisfactory guys gave them an excuse to get mad.

Anyway, this matter is so serious that it concerns the survival of the Zhou family and the Li family, even if he wants to withdraw his hand, he can't.

"Master Jiang, this matter is tricky, I will leave it to you as an official, and I will only follow you from now on."

Zhou Yi bowed his hands solemnly, this matter is fatal, if one is not good, the Zhou family may suffer from Wuwang's disaster, he is a small county magistrate, and he has no qualifications to intercede, so he can only ask Jiang Qi to do it. help.

Jiang Qi is just a small seventh-rank county magistrate, and he has no qualifications. However, in Xinjiang County, he is the highest chief executive, so he is barely qualified.

He can only ask Jiang Qi for help, no matter whether it is successful or not, the Zhou family owes him a huge favor, so he also made a promise on behalf of the Zhou Dai clan that from now on, the Zhou family will fully cooperate with you in your work.

Jiang Qi pretended to think for a while before reluctantly agreeing. He wanted to work hard in Xinjiang County and make some achievements. Without the cooperation of these aristocratic families, it would be wishful thinking. Of course, he would not miss such a good opportunity.

Besides, this was originally explained by the deputy commander Zhou.

As he walked, he took a deep breath, and the reactions of these aristocratic families were all within the expectations of the Vice Commander Zhou. At such an age, this wit and scheming is really admirable and awe-inspiring.

Zhou Yi and the other three followed anxiously. The county government office was full of burly men with their hands on their sword hilts. They all looked like fierce gods, exuding a chilling and murderous aura that frightened people's hearts. No need to guess. It was the guard next to the big man.

The three of them walked into the backyard of the county yamen, and immediately heard the sound of the whip whipping people, as well as the painful howling of the tortured, their eyelids twitched in fright.

A man was hanging from a big tree in the backyard. The black house slave outfit on his body was whipped into strips of cloth. Dozens of bloodstains criss-crossed and criss-crossed, which was shocking.

"Say, who ordered you to assassinate the family members of your lord?"

A man with a mighty and frightening appearance yelled loudly, and the whip soaked in water in his hand twitched from time to time, making a chilling sound.

The tortured person had already passed out from the pain, so he couldn't make any noise. However, Zhou Yi and the others shuddered. After the accident, they quickly sent people to inquire about what happened at that time. This bastard was just molesting Mr. Zhou's wife and concubine. This kind of thing can be big or small. The worst is to endure pain and bleed a lot, and pay a large sum of money. It really can't relieve the anger of Mr. Li. Those bastards can only be beheaded.

However, if this matter rises from molesting to assassination, the nature of this matter will be serious, and the whole family may face annihilation.

Zhou Yi and the others were frightened out of their wits and turned pale. At this moment, they didn't even have time to curse those bastards who brought disaster to the family. It was on the county magistrate Jiang Qi.

Not long after, Jiang Qi came out of the wing with a gloomy face, and the three hurried forward to meet her.

"My lord, how did the talk go?"

Zhou Yi couldn't care less about losing his composure, and grabbed Jiang Qi's arm with a panicked look on his face.

"Master Li is very upset."

Jiang Qi glanced across the faces of the three before saying coldly.

Zhou Yi and the other three swallowed hard, looked at Jiang Qi nervously, and waited for his next words.

"Do you know the purpose of Mr. Li's trip?"

Jiang Qi didn't say what the result would be, but raised a question, which made Zhou Yi and the others almost kneel down on the spot, begging him not to play tricks again.

Jiang Qi slowly explained that this Vice Commander Li, who is in charge of life and death, came to the local area to secretly investigate the cause of the food shortage under the prime minister's secret order.

Zhou Yi's face turned pale when he heard it, and beads of cold sweat rolled down his forehead non-stop. He didn't agree with the suggestion of several masters to buy grain at first, but he said nothing. This is good, not only alarmed The prime minister secretly sent such a heavyweight in charge of life and death to investigate. This is the result of greed.

However, he also heard Jiang Qi's implication. This matter still needs to be discussed. It depends on how much blood the two families can produce to appease the anger of Master Li.

"This is how to do?"

Old Zhou Ping of the Zhou Clan was scared to death early on. This was all the result of his insatiable greed, and now he was in big trouble.

"I've said it all, the court's disaster relief food cannot be moved..."

Mr. Zhao beat his chest and sighed again and again. He is the head of the Zhao family, but he is timid and fearful. He did object to the purchase of disaster relief food at the beginning. However, the four major families of Zhou Wang, Li and Liu have always advanced and retreated together, even if he objected. No, the other three Patriarchs have fallen into Qian's eyes, so he can only bite the bullet and follow suit.

"Now is not the time to talk about this, let's discuss a result as soon as possible."

After all, Zhou Yi is the second-in-command of the county government. He has seen the world, and it is useless to regret and complain now. The most urgent thing is to discuss a result as soon as possible, so that he can give an explanation to Mr. Li and eliminate the disaster of the two families.

Chapter 2 and One

"Well done."

Jiang Qi handed a note to Zhou Yi, turned around and left, he had already done what should be done, the rest was up to the four major families to do, he was too busy to touch the ground now, not to mention, there was A heavyweight in charge of life and death sits in the county government, and he must carefully handle the current urgent matters.

Zhou Yi took the note, glanced at it hastily, and the muscles on his face couldn't help twitching. There were only four words written on the note, Zhou Wang, Li Liu, and all the numbers behind it. You don't need to guess. The characters represent the four prominent families in Xinjiang County, and the numbers behind it should be the amount of grain accumulated in the granaries of each family.

He sighed, and silently handed the note to Zhou Ping, the elder of the clan, to use the court's disaster relief food. He was really impatient to live. These greedy guys, are they comfortable now?

He didn't bother to pay attention to the expression on the face of the clan elder Zhou Ping, took a deep breath, walked towards the wing room, bowed to the burly man guarding the door, announced his name, and begged to see Commander Li.

After the guard entered the room to report, he waved his hand to signal Zhou Yi to go in.

Upon entering the room, Zhou Yi bowed respectfully to Li Wei who was sitting in the lobby, "Xinjiang County Prime Minister Zhou Yi kowtows to Your Excellency."

"Zhou Xiancheng, can you be the master?"

Li Wei, who was sitting on the chair, looked at Zhou Yi for a while, and then asked lazily. It is rare to encounter such a good opportunity. County food crisis.

"Returning to my lord, the uncle of the family and the head of the Li family have gone back... to save food in the warehouse... donate..."

Zhou Yi answered cautiously, and peeked anxiously at Li Wei. This time, the four major families had to bleed a lot. However, he wanted to save the family's reputation, but he didn't know whether the young and unreasonable big man in front of him Will you be extra merciful? "Well, it can be regarded as accumulating some virtues for several families to do such a good deed. I thank you for the common people here."

Li Wei said calmly, how could he not understand Zhou Yi's thoughts?

However, if the four major families are on the road, he doesn't want to do too much.

"Thank you sir."

The stone stuck in Zhou Yi's throat slammed down. He knelt down and kowtowed to thank him. The family was lucky to escape this catastrophe.

"Go and assist County Magistrate Jiang to deliver food."

Li Wei waved his hand, signaling him to back down.

"Yes, the subordinate retire."

Zhou Yi responded loudly, kowtowed again to thank him, then got up from the ground, and hurriedly withdrew. He was very surprised that his official position as county magistrate was not removed, but now is not the time to think about why. Go home, convince the owner as soon as possible, and transport the more than 7 shi of grain accumulated in several warehouses to the county government as soon as possible.

Zhou Yi talked to Jiang Qi, the county magistrate who was in charge of food distribution outside the county government office, and then hurried back to the mansion with the elder Zhou Ping and Li Sanye, the head of the Li family.

As for those bastards who were detained in the county government office, they have not been released yet. It is estimated that Mr. Li will not release them until he sees the food.

The three of them received a report from the slaves on the way, and the three patriarchs were gathering in the Zhou Mansion, waiting for their news.

Back in the mansion, Zhou Yi explained the whole process, but it caused the dissatisfaction of the two patriarchs, Wang and Liu. He himself was scolded by several elders of the clan for arbitrarily claiming to make a promise without the consent of the patriarch. According to regulations, is there a patriarch?

Zhou Yi was furious, and threw up his sleeves and left. These short-sighted and greedy old guys really let him down completely. No wonder the Zhou family is getting weaker and weaker. Even if he wants to revive the family, he can't do anything.

Zhou Ping, one of the elders of the Zhou clan, firmly supported him. There was no other way. Two of the bastards who committed the crime were his own grandsons.

Li Sanye is the head of the Li family, and one of his sons also has a share. No matter whether Zhou Wang and Liu Sanjia are willing to donate food, he has no choice to save his son's life.

After some discussion, the four families have had serious differences in history. The heads of the Wang and Liu families only planned to donate [-] shi of grain as a token. They thought that such a cruel guy as the former prefect Kong Ning would not dare to touch them. Does the person surnamed Li have the guts?

It's no wonder that they are confident. In this era, the power and influence of the aristocratic families are indeed strong enough to influence the court. Moreover, these aristocratic families have marriages with each other, which can be described as intertwined. If a family is moved, it is very likely to affect five or six families, or even a dozen. Even if those in power are afraid of these aristocratic families, they have to consider the powerful relationship among them.

At this meeting, the four families broke up unhappily. The patriarchs of the two families, Wang and Liu, shook their sleeves and left angrily. Mr. Li also hurried back and summoned his family members to transport the tens of thousands of stone waves accumulated in the granary to the county government. .

The Zhou clan once again convened a meeting with the elders and important children of the clan. Zhou Yi did not participate. He had already returned to the county government office to assist the county magistrate Jiang Qi in distributing food. You can't influence them, you can only resign yourself to fate.

Fortunately, one of the clan elders, Zhou Ping, had great prestige in the clan and was very popular with him. He won the support of several clan elders and finally agreed to donate all the tens of thousands of stones of grain accumulated in the granary.

Every move of the four major families has been closely monitored by the black guards. The Zhou and Li families agreed to donate food, which relieved Li Wei, who is in charge of the county government, but the changes of the Wang and Liu families made him look full of evil. A cold and murderous faint smile.

He's already lenient, and there are still people who want to die, so don't blame him for being cruel.

The Patriarchs of the Wang and Liu families are really short-sighted. They own a lot of fertile land, and a good harvest of one trillion grains is enough to make up for the loss this time, but they just can't see it.

Perhaps, it's not that you can't see it, but that you are too greedy, so what if you have a lot of money, is it not a waste of life to enjoy it?

As a traveler, Li Wei knew very well that a large number of fertile land was concentrated in the hands of those aristocratic families and gentry, and they raised a large number of refugees without household registration to accumulate wealth for them.

Li Wei also knows that there is no fairness in this world at all. He is not the savior, so he does not want to change the status quo. Of course, there is a prerequisite for this, that is, the common people can maintain food and clothing. .

What's more, if it is said who is the biggest local tyrant in the Great Qin Empire, who else can compare with it except the Jiayue Li family?

Li Wei crossed his legs and sipped fragrant tea in a leisurely manner. In later generations, he never drank tea, and only drank Coke and Jianlibao. However, in the Cangyun Continent, he could only choose to drink tea or drink. tea.

In fact, the top-grade tea leaves that are tributed from various places are quite good.

A guard came in to report, and someone outside who claimed to be Zhao Wu begged to see him.

Li Wei was startled, what is this guy doing here?

Chapter 2

Seeing Jing Niang again, Li Wei was a little embarrassed, he didn't expect that Zhao Wuye would come to him for something, and Jing Niang would follow.

He does not deny that Jing Niang is a passionate stunner who knows how to grasp a man's psychology and makes him feel fulfilled, but it is not enough to make him fall in love with the golden house, so he just embraces Jing Niang. He has a mentality of hunting for beauty, and he does not deny that this is the root of the vast majority of men.

"Zhao Wu (concubine) kowtows to the lord."

Zhao Wu and Jing Niang saluted respectfully, and then carefully stood aside, Zhao Wuye looked extremely nervous, Jing Niang stood behind him pretty, and kept her head down after saluting, without even looking at Li Wei, As if you never knew him.

Li Wei sighed, stealing a bite once in a while, he didn't want to be stuck and unable to get out, Jing Niang's performance made him secretly relieved, she is really a smart woman, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty again.

Mr. Zhao Wu came to inform. The Wang family sent someone to find him and wanted to borrow his motorcade for a few days. He was curious and inquired about it, only to find out that the Wang family and the Liu family would take the accumulated grain to other counties for sale tonight.

The guard had reported this information just now. It was a risky pass from a black-clothed guard lurking in Liu's house. Zhao Wuye was a step slower, but Li Wei was very satisfied with his performance.

With an idea in his heart, he patted Zhao Wuye on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Fifth Lord, since you have such a heart, why don't you serve for the court? I am optimistic about you. If you will be promoted to a higher rank in the future, it will be a glorious family. Glory."

"Big... my lord... the little one... did you hear me right?"

Zhao Wuye stammered, Li Wei's slap had already flattered him, and these words made him think he had heard it wrong.

Li Wei laughed and said: "I heard you right, if you want, I will recommend you to be the Deputy Weiwei of the Heiyiwei in Xinjiang County."

"Thank you sir."

This time, Zhao Wuye heard it clearly, and without thinking for a second, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed to thank him. He didn't know how big an official the Deputy Wei Wei was, but he was an official anyway. The businessman is a little bit taller, and now he has become the deputy capital guard in black, which is already smoke from the ancestral grave.

"very good."

Li Wei said in a deep voice: "However, you have to remember that if you use your power to do evil and harm the people, I will be the first to take off your head."

"Yes, my lord!"

Zhao Wuye replied loudly, he was already crazy with joy in his heart, he is also a country gentleman and landlord, he only needs to guard his hundreds of hectares of fertile land, and he is afraid of lack of money?

Even if the money is too much to count, this official position cannot be bought with money. From now on, be an honest person, work hard, keep your current official position, and you may be promoted to an official position someday , Guangzong Yaozu, Fifth Master, I have also become a human being, hehe.

"Get up, you go back first, someone will send you an official badge for you."

Li Wei glanced at Jing Niang and reminded: "You must remember that the identity of the black guard must never be disclosed. You must not only hide your identity, but also protect yourself. Only by staying alive can you be promoted Opportunity."

"Thank you for cultivating."

Zhao Wuye, who was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, knelt down and kowtowed again to thank him, and then he left happily.

Jing Niang followed behind him, and when she passed by Li Wei, she glanced at him quickly with charming eyes, then left with her head down.
