Bastards

Cleaning up his mood, Cui Mata lightly moved his fingertips, and then looked down.

The Weishui River was flooded, and a strange phenomenon appeared in the Chang'an section, with white jade and longevity stones rushing out of the water.Please from the Ministry of Rites, the Son of Heaven must not leave the capital without reason, but a clan can be sent to welcome him. Among the clans, those with close blood to the Son of Heaven are preferred.

The blood is close to the emperor, and the position is noble, so don't think about it, No. 1 must be Yang Xuan, but all the ministers in the court invite the king of Yue.

The word "King of Yue" made Cui Yu's eyes red, these people... have they forgotten Yang Xuan!

Yang Xuan is the prince!

Cui Mata's fingertips turned white, and he didn't know that his strength had increased unconsciously. The cub was uncomfortable when he pinched it.

Yang Xuan raised his hand to fish the little tiger away, and looked at Cui Yu with a frown.

Cui Mina came back to his senses, just in time to meet Yang Xuan's eyes.

As always, there is no wave, no joy and no sorrow, exuding a calm and calm atmosphere, even if he hugs the cute little tiger, he can't stop his aura as bright as the sun.

"You..." Cui Mata's voice was hoarse.

"One day you will die, you must be too stupid, and you will be killed by your own beast." Yang Xuan casually glanced at the mansion newspaper, and sneered, "A few scraps of paper are worth your attention?"

No disdain, no care, no anger, no unwillingness, no resentment, it seems that no matter how scary or dangerous the information revealed above, he is not afraid, no matter how unfavorable the situation is, he will always reverse it!

Cui Mata's heart throbbed.

That's right... the situation will always turn around, and he, Cui Yu, will not allow King Yue to continue to be proud!

An unknown true or false, it may be a small auspicious omen of the product of Meishang, so there is no need for the prince to come out in person and reward that ugly monster King Yue.

"Meow..." The little tiger probably knew that he had done something wrong. He was roughly carried by Yang Xuan, and he didn't dare to move in pain. He shivered with his legs between his legs. After a while, the dripping liquid dripped out...it was urine.

Yang Xuan's face turned green, and he immediately threw the little tiger to the ground, not caring at all whether the little thing would be killed by him, only to see if the clothes on his body were dirty.

The little tiger rolled a few times on the ground and stopped, shrinking its body, its ears and tail pulled down, embarrassed and cowardly, not daring to move forward, yelling, pitifully.

What's the matter, is Shang Gu still to blame?Yang Xuan's brows were raised high, and they stared at each other with staring eyes.

Suddenly, I felt... In fact, the timing of my rebirth was just right.The corners of Cui Yu's lips curled up, and a smile filled his eyes.

……

Further down, some local officials have been transferred.

At the end of the year, the Ministry of Officials conducts a centralized performance appraisal. There is a major review every three years. In the spring of the following year, officials are dispatched the most, and there are also some in normal times, but not too many. The dispatches of the last two residence reports seem to be a little frequent... Cui Yu singled out the two residence reports for comparison But I didn't understand it very well.

The breeze blew, and the pages of the book rattled, especially the heavy map paper. I was afraid that others would not know how big it was, and it almost turned over and covered Cui Mata's face.

Cui Yu stretched out his hand to smooth it out, his eyes slid across the edge of the map, and his eyes suddenly stopped. These dispatches are really unusual!

He was insensitive to ancient place names, and when he thought about it on the map, he quickly realized that these frequently dispatched local officials all relied on the canal.From north to south, and from Luoyang to Chang'an, the surrounding area of ​​the canal is not very flat. It seems that they are holding back their strength, killing others, and standing on top of themselves, and then stabilize the position...

Cui Yu stared for a moment, then compared the previous residence newspapers, looking for the names of officials that appeared on the last two, and then he found that this should be another form of land grab.There are two or three, or even more different people, fighting each other, fighting for each other, the purpose...is the water transportation line.

The canal runs through the north, south, east, and west, and is restricted by the government. Grain is provided for the consumption of the palace, salaries for hundreds of officials, military salaries, food adjustments, etc.This is a huge money bag, and the billowing river pushes all benefits, how can the superiors not care?

This sudden break in the balance of the battle also shows that the court's superiors are no longer willing to be lonely.

It's just that this change is only due to the faction of officials, or is it due to the addition of powerful ministers and clans, and even the sons of the emperor?

Formation of cliques and strife for power in the palace... This situation is chaotic and very rhythmic.

Cui Yu raised his head with a smile, just in time to see Yang Xuan's eyes gliding over the mansion newspaper.

Don't care, don't get angry, but it doesn't mean you don't pay attention.Cui Yu suddenly had a feeling, did Yang Xuan already know all this?

This question... I am afraid there will be no answer for the time being.

Cui Mata raised his eyebrows and collected the mansion report one by one.

The breeze blew up the hair and wrapped it around the cheeks, itching slightly.

……

"Xie Cong, why did you bring so many mansion papers?" After eating and drinking, Fan Lingxiu rubbed his belly, chatting very happily.

Xie Cong couldn't bear to watch someone's indecent gesture of rubbing his stomach, and turned his head slightly: "My grandfather said, the more you watch, the more you want to gain wisdom, and you can know a lot of things that others don't know."

"How to say?"

"For example, in the latest article in the residence report, there is a strange auspicious omen in the Chang'an section of the Wei River, and the courtiers have invited the King of Yue to welcome him." Xie Cong sighed slightly, "Now when it comes to the lords below the Holy Majesty, everyone talks about the King of Yue, but no one mentions the Crown Prince. Chu Jun, the situation is so weak, the rules are out of order, and the best is effective, and no one in the court is worried, isn't it terrible?"

Fan Lingxiu curled his lips: "If you have milk, you are a mother, and you can go if you are lucky. The adults say it nicely, but in fact, how can there be so many good officials with the world in mind? They are all pretending."

"It's not..." Xie Cong felt depressed, and wanted to refute Fan Lingxiu's words with a slightly hostile attitude. After thinking about it, he felt that he couldn't make sense with this barbarian, so he didn't mention it at all.

He lost his temper, Fan Lingxiu felt bored, rolled his eyes, and said along with the words: "You can see that Dibao can know things that others don't. I know more than you, do you believe it or not?"

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants are the lightest. Xie Cong was born in a family. Even if he has cultivated his demeanor well, and even owed the merchant in front of him a life-saving grace, he still despises the merchant in his bones.Traveling all over the world and earning the price difference with one mouth, what big things can you know?

Perhaps Xie Cong's reaction was mild and not too annoying after looking at him too much. Fan Lingxiu was smiling, not at all unhappy.He also attracted Cui Yu and Yang Xuan: "Cui Liushasan, do you believe it?"

Yang Xuan remained silent as usual, Cui Yu smiled: "Brother Fan, please tell me."

"Hey..." Fan Lingxiu became interested, looked around, and lowered his voice, "Do you know why I said that the Weishui River is not easy to travel? Because I have heard that the Weishui River has dozens of people, and they have all been found. Different backers, they gamble, relying on the brothers on the road to fight, whoever can win the others will stand at the end, whoever is the boss of the entire section of the river gang, everyone listens to him!"

Xie Cong was a little disbelieving: "Really? Even if it is, what does it have to do with us?"

"It's a big deal!" Fan Lingxiu raised his nose, "What do you think the River Gang is doing? Water transportation! The soldiers of the imperial court have their own business, and the navy doesn't specialize in this. Most of the water transportation is operated by the cooperative government of the River Gang. To help the people, no matter how big your fist is, you don’t dare to violate the official’s prestige. Of course, as long as the task is done well and you don’t make trouble for the Shangguan, the Shangguan will not care about any private disputes, and will not ask the court to put pressure on it.”

So?

Xie Congping looked at Fan Lingxiu.

No hurries!Fan Lingxiu rolled his eyes, picked up the tea bowl, took a sip of water slowly, then lowered his voice again, and said mysteriously: "Think about it, the two sides have so much contact, if you say they are not close and don't pay much attention to each other, is it possible?" ?People from different gangs and the government have connections. Everyone usually does not interfere with the river water. When they suddenly fight, the government doesn’t care. They just want to watch. The big fish eat the small fish, and the small fish eat shrimp. They want to make a living in water transport To eat, you have to be savvy and winky, and you have to rely on the mountains! I heard that there is someone from the Blue Whale Gang in Luoyang, and the leader of the Four Seas Gang has adopted some kind of inner palace eunuch as a godfather... These two families are opposite, master It’s also opposite. Have you heard about the incident in Xia County?”

Xie Cong was at a loss, why did he talk about Xia County again?

Fan Xiuling's expression was quite meaningful: "About ten years ago, when the heavy rain started to fall at the gate of Xia County, a green and oiled carriage was shot into a hedgehog as soon as it entered the city... that's why!"

Ten days ago, at the gate of Xia County, when the heavy rain started to fall...

Cui Yu grasped these key words and suddenly remembered that it was when he just woke up!At that time, he suddenly didn't feel well, and he had a hunch that entering the city would be dangerous, and he even saw arrows glowing with cold light in the city...

So, it wasn't his aunt who sent him to kill him.

He also had doubts at the beginning, and it was not in the inner house at home. On the way, how could the aunt have the time, connections and ability to arrange to buy a killer.

Cui Mata was worried that Lan Qiao would react and say the wrong thing, so he turned his head to look over——Lan Qiao was wooing the little tiger with food, but the little tiger didn't pay attention, and he was very aggressive in wooing him.

I should have thought of it earlier, this is a big heart...

When turning his gaze back, Cui Yu glanced past Yang Xuan, and noticed that there seemed to be a strange flicker in the bottom of Yang Xuan's long and narrow eyes.

Yang Xuan knew about this!

So the carriage that was shot into a hedgehog was not sent by his aunt, nor was it the gang fight that Fan Lingxiu said, but arranged by Yang Xuan!

At that time, Yang Xuan was already avoiding pursuit... He and Yang Xuan were once so close.

Cui Yan closed his eyes slightly. Yang Xuan had experienced a lot in places he didn't know.

"So let's take the Weishui River, it must be difficult to go!"

Cui Mata sighed.What Fan Lingxiu said was right, the River Gang was in troubled times, and it was not easy to travel by water, and any small matter could cause trouble.The government didn't say anything about the gang disputes, other than wanting to watch, it was still intentional, wanting to shuffle the cards, and wanting to intervene.

It is also interesting that the battle between the temples is in the rivers and lakes.

The author has something to say: Little Tiger (yawning): He's handsome but can't attack you in three seconds, rude, naive, resentful, middle school two, after summarizing, this article won't be popular.It is recommended to switch to the Xiuxian line, the cute and cool demon pet white tiger can warm the bed, touch the fur or the waist of a male dog, and it can also help the owner to kill the Quartet and disdain the three worlds. ! !

Yang Xuan (picking nose): The coward who was scared to pee by me still dare to speak?Gu has decided that today's dinner will be eaten by one tiger and eighteen.

Cui Yu (serious face): Excuse me, didn't I come to hate others, why did I bring a baby?

Fan Lingxiu & Xie Cong (confused): Maybe...it is for you to raise a baby and hate others at the same time?
