The most powerful minister in the world

After half a drink, Gu Chengxiao suddenly said: "Second Young Master, the girl you saved jumped into the river early this morning."

Jing Xi paused her hands and said after two breaths: "They are all poor girls. Death is a kind of relief for them."

"I don't agree with this. Damn it, a good human life has been wasted like this? At the age of twenty-seven, being buried in the belly of a fish, this cannot be regarded as a true destination!"

Lian'er muttered at the side: "Dongyang said, the ancestor of the Qiao family was once your ancestor's domestic slave, and now you don't care about the young master of the second wife of the Qiao family who abuses other girls? You are saying something useless here, you are so embarrassed. .”

Jingxi gave her a thumbs up, and Gu Chengxiao blinked and said, "Our Gu family has long stopped caring about things in the mortal world."

"Hey~ Who would believe it, living in seclusion on the edge of the West Lake in the south of the Yangtze River? Your ancestors are afraid that they would like to eat more human fireworks, right?"

"This is true!"

Jing Xi was too lazy to talk to him and just drank the pear blossom wine he brought. The taste was indescribably sweet and could be said to be the best he had ever drunk.

He was having a great time drinking when he suddenly said, "Second Young Master, you can call me when you go to the Flower House someday."

"What? You, the majestic young master of the Gu family, want to go to the Flower House, just go by yourself, why don't you need me to lead you?"

"But I have never been to Hualou in my whole life. What should I do if someone who is unfamiliar with this place cheats me out of money? I only have a monthly salary of four hundred taels of silver, and I don't have much left if I live frugally."

Jingxi and Laner looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Why do I not believe it so much? Your Gu family is still short of money? Have you ever visited the Flower House?"

Gu Chengxiao said seriously: "I can swear to God!"

Jingxi opened the folding fan and waved it. It didn't look like he was lying, but why was his credibility so low?

"Don't care if it's true or not. Now that you've spoken, I'll just call you when I go there next time. Is it easy for the Gu family to find you?"

"Well, Second Young Master, it's better for me to come find you. Don't let my family know."

......

On the other side of the Dancheng government office, Mu Sheng was licking his brush and ticking off a list, while Liu Huangying was frantically dialing in the abacus underneath.

Lan Tianying drank tea with bated breath. The Xizi camp soldiers at the door stood still with swords in hand. After half a month of training, the first batch of soldiers had changed their appearance greatly. They had expanded from the original eight thousand people. There were 15,000 people, and they were organized into the advance team of Xiziying.

Before leaving, Jing Xi specially told him not to just focus on the existing soldiers, but also to pay attention to building the militia, which Mu Sheng was busy preparing for.

Since Xiziying became famous, many people in their prime have joined the army enthusiastically. There are now 20,000 people, but they are all reserve troops and have not been officially included in Xiziying.

Besides, Yang Hu and Li Cheng led two thousand soldiers to Yangzhou on Huainan Road after Jingxi left. As for what they were going to do, Mu Sheng didn't know.

All he wants now is that Mr. Jingxi has had enough fun and comes back early. Less than one-third of the bandits have been dealt with, and all that has been dealt with are still scraps. None of the real big tigers have been dealt with. Woolen cloth.

Among the Yinggu Mountain, Naizi Mountain, and Judiao Mountain, the bandits in Naizi Mountain have almost been eliminated, leaving only the largest mountain top untouched. At that time, Mu Sheng wanted to take it all at once, but Jingxi paid the gold and retreated his troops, completely unwilling to do so. Know what medicine is sold in the gourd.

"Hey, Second Young Master, when will you come back?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open, and a figure as big as a hill came in. He wiped his nose with his hand and said, "My boss is not back yet?"

Lan Tianying put down his tea cup and said with a smile: "Xiong'er, your boss has gone to the West Lake for business and will be back in a few days."

Lan Tianying's eyes always light up and he is very enthusiastic when he sees Li Xiong'er, who was born in the True Gang Realm.

When Li Xiong'er heard that Jing Xi hadn't come back yet, he sat down at the door. Liu Huangying's table also jumped up.

"I'm going to find the boss!"

Upon hearing this, Lan Tianying quickly stopped him and said, "Xiong'er, be obedient. He will be back soon. He specifically asked you to stay in the Yamen and not go anywhere. When he comes back, he can take you to fight the bandits." Play."

"That's what you said last week, I don't care, I'm going to find the boss."

Seeing that Lan Tianying couldn't persuade him no matter what, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and said, "I'll play with you. Let's fight in the open space, okay?"

Hearing this, Li Xiong'er slapped his chest and said, "Well, I didn't do it lightly. Don't blame me if I hurt you."

This is not Li Xiong'er's nonsense. They are both in the Zhen Gang realm. Lan Tian should have experience, martial arts, and sword skills, but he can completely defeat all magic with one force. He is born with divine power. He is born with divine power. That is not what he says. Talk about it.

Lan Tianying led Li Xiong'er away, and Mu Sheng stood up and paced back and forth in the hall. Liu Huangying patted her belly and said, "Master Mu, what happened? Are you so anxious?"

"I was thinking about what the second young master is trying to do. He has been out for half a month and still hasn't come back. He even provokes the children of aristocratic families. Could it be that he wants to muddy the water in the south of the Yangtze River so that he can catch fish? Or is it just simple? Is it because of his personality?"

Liu Huangying muttered: "A few days ago, Xiaobai came back and gave me a letter. It was the second young master who wanted to list the corrupt officials and the families involved. I gave it to Xiaobai and asked him to take it with him."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?"

Mu Sheng wiped his mouth with a wet towel, looked at the ink on the towel, suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Here comes someone!"

The Xiziying soldiers waiting at the door came in and asked, "What are your orders, Lord Governor?"

Mu Sheng flicked his sleeves and said: "Gather the qualified militiamen together, as many as they can, and distribute them with armors and weapons. I want to give you a lecture."

"Yes!"

Liu Huangying stood up and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Haha~ Since the Second Young Master wants to muddy the water, we have to add a stick to stir it up. Let these militiamen rush to Hangzhou along with the Xiziying soldiers, station them nearby, and go in for patrols from time to time."

"What is the purpose?" Liu Huangying asked in confusion.

"This time, the Second Young Master has no one available in Hangzhou. If he really wants to do something, I'm afraid it's too late to mobilize troops at short notice." Mu Sheng turned around and picked up the folding fan on the table, "This second time, it's for the Second Young Master. Cover your identity."

"How is this a cover? If you send troops, won't you be more exposed? Think about it, if you have the same name and the same name, you can cover it up, but when a person with the same name as the 'Governor' has just arrived at West Lake, there are officers and soldiers arriving. How can it be so? Aren’t you asking for it?”

Mu Sheng smiled and waved his hands and said: "Then let's not hide it and just say that the 'Governor-General' is going to the West Lake, but not right away, but after sorting out the military affairs. The officers and soldiers will go first." Just prepare in advance.”

Liu Huangying thought for a while, gave a thumbs up and said: "Wonderful, so wonderful!"
