Troubled Times: Start with 800 Dead Soldiers

"You are Murong Yanda's accomplice in oppressing the people, but you are also a victim of your own trap."

Su Xia suddenly thought that this might be what Leo Tolstoy said - property is the root of all evil.

Thinking of this, he said solemnly: "For the sake of earning the first pot of gold for me on Salmon Island, you can choose to retire on the island."

Guo Wuji smiled bitterly and refused: "It's a done deal. It's too late. I was blind in one eye, and my legs were broken in prison. I coughed up blood every day. Even my hands and ribs were chopped off on the order of Magistrate Murong. It’s all broken. Please die as soon as possible. Living will only make me miserable. Please let me end this miserable life.”

After Guo Wuji finished speaking, he shook his empty sleeves, turned his head to one side and stopped talking.

Su Xia knew clearly that this man was Murong Yanda's accomplice in the past, and knew that he had done many bad things, but at this moment, he still felt a little sad in his heart.

He nodded, "Any last words?"

"You are very powerful. Before I die, I want to know your name. By the way, you'd better get me a glass of poisonous wine. Besides, I want to eat something good before I die."

"Su Xia, the awakened Su, Hua Xia Xia, come, tell the kitchen to prepare a table of good food."

"Thank you. Can you erect a monument for me after I die?"

"can."

……

Su Xia agreed one by one. This was the last thing he could do.

At the dinner table, Guo Wuji looked at the dishes on the table, took a few bites randomly, then looked at the glass of poisonous wine, suddenly laughed loudly, and took a swig.

With a tilt of his head, Guo Wuji fell in front of Su Xia and others again.

Unlike the last time when Guo Wuji was fascinated by Guo Wuji in the tea shed, this time Guo Wuji could never wake up again.

"Come here, bury him!"

"Sir, what's the name?"

"Just write it like it is."

......

Only with stability can everything develop.

Zhang Ence's death caused a sensation in Dengzhou official circles.

But this is just a topic for people to talk after they have had enough wine and food. As long as the situation stabilizes, no one cares whether Zhang Ente is a rebel or not.

However, Zhou Bin, who had just pacified Dengzhou, faced the "aggressive" growth rate of Su Xiaping's navy.

As the magistrate of a state, the magistrate Zhou Bin would naturally not hand over the Xiang army to a waste like Zhang Ence again.

What he is looking for is someone who can compete with Ping Haijun and Su Xia.

Sun Li, the commander of the Dengzhou military force, was the candidate he intended to promote.

Although Zhou Bin is also greedy for money, he knows that you can't buy everyone with money. Some powerful and important positions must have capable people to participate.

No, Sun Li has received a special mission from him.

Nominally under the order of the Governor of Dengzhou, he was transferred to the Xiang Army on Shamen Island for the purpose of transferring officers.

In fact, he secretly observed the situation on Salmon Island, monitored the movements of Salmon Island, and reported to him at any time.

However, when Zhou Bin told Su Xia about this, Su Xia immediately understood what he was thinking.

You sent "Sick Yuchi" Sun Li here, how about I take advantage of it!

Let you, Zhou Bin, beat a dog like a meat bun, and there will be no return!

No matter whether he saved his son, or how much money or glass beads he gave him in the past, Zhou Bin's character was like this, he was always worried about himself.

Su Xia naturally agreed, and after speaking, Zhou Bin forced him to stay at his house for dinner.

However, Su Xia's thoughts are all about how to deal with Sun Li. If you send me a nail, I will use this nail to restrain Zhou Bin!

If Zhang Ence dies, Zhou Bin will stand up! Perhaps, a high-ranking person like Zhou Bin is the target he will face next.

Logically speaking, Su Xia doesn't pay attention to small characters like Shi Qiantian.

But there was such a thing from the inside information.

Ximen Qing and Shi Qiantian got together.

It turned out that Ximen Qing's freight caravan purchased glass beads, glass cups and other items from Zhu Gui. Every time he entered and exited Dengzhou Guard, intelligence personnel dispatched by Zhu Gui in Hanlu Kulu followed him.

It was only recently that I discovered that Ximen Qing was mixed up with Shi Qiantian in Dengzhou Wei.

Su Xia was a little angry when he learned the news. He had an appointment with Ximen Qing at that time, and Ximen Qing was absolutely not allowed to have any contact with the local area. All colored glass beads had to be sold to the Jiangning area.

How dare he break the contract!

Su Xia decided to teach these two idiots a lesson first!

As for how these two people hooked up, it's actually very simple.

Shi Qiantian is now the acting envoy of Dengzhou Prefecture, responsible for arresting thieves, freight transportation and many other things.

After Zhang Ence's death, in order to get the good job of regimental training envoy, his fortune in bribery was almost empty.

Now that Ximen Qing, the largest wealthy businessman in Qingzhou Prefecture, has offered money, he naturally can't let it go.

Shi Gantian's home.

Ximen Qing looked at Shi Qiantian, "Master Tuan Lian Envoy, what do you think of this ham-squeezing lotus root soup?"

Ximen Qing stirred the soup bowl as he spoke.

"Don't say that, don't say that, now I'm just acting as a training agent."

"Sir, you are so humble. Apart from you, who else in the entire Dengzhou City can sit on such a throne!"

Listening to Ximen Qing's rainbow fart, the wrinkles on Shi Qiantian's face almost burst out of laughter.

He took a bite and savored it carefully: "Brother Ximen, what is this ham?"

"We bought this from the Jiangning area when there was only silk and satin. The taste of this ham is different from meat."

Shi Qiantian nodded and praised him a few times.

The lotus flowers on the side kept adding vegetables and vegetables for the two of them.

Although Ximen Qing was invited to dinner at Shi Qiantian's home, all he ate was food brought by Ximen Qing.

Ximen Qing kept sending money, as well as Jingjiang preserved meat, Jinling roast duck and so on.

Shi Qiantian was also a bit cheap and behaved: "I'm sorry, I said it was me who invited you. Look, the dishes on this table were all brought by you from Jiangning. Not bad, not bad!

Ximen Qing raised his eyebrows: "Your Excellency, that's a compliment, that's a compliment!"

"You're talking about buying glass balls and doing cloth business here. Who are you talking about? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"The Ruyi Restaurant in Dengzhouwei Pier, that man is Dryland Hulu Zhugui, but I don't know who the boss is behind him."

"Wait a minute, you mean Ruyi Restaurant. I understand. It is the property of Pinghai Navy Commander Su Xia. This Su Xia is really powerful. We have to guard against it!" Shi Qiantian shook his head and said as if he was worried. Think about what you are thinking about.

Ximen Qing looked at his dry face, turned to look at the lotus blossoms, and suddenly smiled.

As a waiter, Lotus quickly stood up and served Ximen Qing with food and wine.

Coming closer, Ximen Qing couldn't help but feel enthusiastic, as if a thousand ants were crawling through his heart, even his eyes were drawn away.
