Back Off, Let Me Come Chapter 1160

Chapter 1160 Chapter 1160: Guangji Liang (Part 2) [Asking for monthly votes]

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　please—Gulu-Gulu-Gulu—“

The man didn't finish his cruel words and was forced to choke several mouthfuls of water from the stream.

Just when he thought he was certain to die this time, a force pulled his bun and pulled him out of the water. He coughed awkwardly, greedily breathing in precious air. In the next breath, **** pinched his neck accurately: "Last chance!"

　　The man was forced to look into those eyes filled with deathly silence.

Calm and unruffled, as if looking at a dead person.

The man's teeth were bumping up and down uncontrollably. Feeling the contraction of his fingers and the approaching breath of death, he finally broke down and shouted: "I said - I said, I said it!"

Shen Tang patted his wet face: "That's right."

　　After saying that, he winked at his own man. The nearest ranger understood, and after a while he dug out the hidden token from the location the man told him. It is said to be a token, but it is actually an official certificate.

Certificate of appointment of an official.

She played with the token and smiled with satisfaction.

“Yes, this thing is real.”

“You have got the stuff, can I...” He could only pin his hope for survival on the conscience of these tough bandits.

But don't think about it, you are all gangsters, how can you have a conscience?

“What are you doing standing still? Move away and kill him.”

The hope in the man's eyes was completely extinguished, followed by overwhelming anger, and he cursed: "Thief, you don't mean what you say!"

“Can you believe what a thief says?”

Raise your hand and say [Stop speaking and seize the sound], and the world will be pure.

No matter how hard the man struggled, he was still unable to defeat the two young knights on the left and right, dragging him away like a pig waiting to be slaughtered. After a while, bright red gurgling water flowed from the upper reaches to the lower reaches. Shen Tang stuffed Guan Ping into his arms, turned over and climbed onto the back of the mule.

“Now that we have the things in hand, let's go and take office!”

The corpses strewn all over the ground were disposed of, leaving only bloodstains on the ground silently telling the story of the murder that occurred not long ago. Shen Tang raised his arms and called out, and all the rangers responded one after another. When Shen Tang pressed for Guan Pian's whereabouts, these people had already taken off the clothes of the guards.

Xia Houyu and Gu De looked at each other.

They all see a bit of complexity in each other's eyes.

A few days ago, they were still discussing how to put down roots.

The cost is the lowest, but the risk is relatively high. If the local government has a tough temper, they can easily be dismissed as political achievements; the next best thing is to observe for a while and see what happens. Regarding the situation within the country, they must find a force to rely on, and their freedom will be limited to a certain extent. The advantage is that the environment is stable and the cost of living is guaranteed. They can develop themselves by parasitizing this force; the third suggestion is to enlist in the army, as there is unrest in the country. , it's a good opportunity to fish in troubled waters!

If you are lucky, you can still find a place.

Unexpectedly, the Lord Admiral rejected all three suggestions.

[The moral bottom line of both of you is too high...] It's not that Xia Houyu and his two suggestions are not good. In fact, all three paths are feasible. The problem is that Shen Tang doesn't have the patience to take his time. [Good people do good things, Of course bad people do bad things. 】

Shen Tang does not think he is a good person.

That's a bad person.

She sneered: "Since you are a bad person, if you want something, you can't follow the rules and earn it. You can just grab it." 】

Xia Houyu had to remind Shen Tang.

　　　【Lord, we are short of manpower. 】

How can two to three hundred unorganized and undisciplined rangers attack a city and seize territory? King Qi's court has not completely collapsed, so it is easy to deal with them. If you want to truly take root, you must at least have a foundation of popular support. If he doesn't ask these common people to help him, at least he won't stab him in the back.

Otherwise, how can we gain a foothold?

　　【Do you think I want you to raid counties and towns? 】

Xia Houyu was puzzled: [Isn't it? 】

If you don't grab this, why grab it?

Shen Tang smiled and shook his head and said: [Sneak attacks on counties and towns, with just such a small number of people, people will be killed. Of course I will not let everyone die. I mean, let's go rob the incoming one. He took away his official credentials, let's replace him! 】

Intercept and kill the officials who are about to take office.

This is easier to operate than attacking counties and towns directly.

The phenomenon of selling official positions and titles is quite serious here in Qi State. Shen Tang and the others only need to stay and guard the unlucky guy who takes office in a relatively remote place. The ranger has good information channels and is involved in all kinds of religions. It is not difficult to find a suitable target. Shen Tang picked an unlucky guy and said, "Just this guy, let's go intercept and kill him!" 】

Xiahou Yusi thought: "This person is not suitable." 】

The place where you take office has no barriers and no dangers to rely on.

He pointed at another unlucky guy.

The place where the unlucky man is about to take office is not bad. If we can hide his identity and replace him, we can save a lot of worry.

Gu De was interested in another site.

The reasons are also convincing.

The transportation in this area is relatively convenient, and there are waterways within the territory. It is a big advantage for us to take root here and make a living.

Shen Tang's reasons are different from those of the two.

She said: [This man has repeatedly committed crimes during the reign of King Qi. He bought an official position and took office in order to avoid the limelight. To be cautious, he will keep a low profile after taking office and will not have much contact with his family. He's dead and no one will be looking for him anytime soon. 】

The others are all recommended, and one of them will always have connections and abilities. Perhaps there are relatives, disciples, and old officials in the clan who take up the position, so it is easy to be exposed if they replace them. The unlucky man Shen Tang chose was different. He was an abandoned son of the family, so he bought an official position and sent him to another place to avoid danger. From this analysis, the possibility of replacing him is much greater than that of others.

Three unlucky guys, each with their own advantages.

Xia Houyu and Gu De finally chose Shen Tang.

You can only think about other things after you have accomplished something.

Having made a plan, the group of people planned an action to intercept and kill this group of people. The man took office with only a hundred personal guards and one concubine, leaving his wife and children in the royal capital. Their vigilance was quite good, and they discovered the murderous intention first.

It's a pity that the strength is not enough.

“Lord—a living person was found!”

Before the mule had taken two steps, a subordinate dragged a figure over and dropped the figure in front of Shen Tang like trash. This man was dressed in shabby clothes and had unkempt hair. At first glance, he thought he was a savage. If you look closely, you can see that the figure is clearly that of a woman. Shen Tang remembered that when he intercepted and killed him just now, he did not see the concubine beside the man.

The woman also saw that the clothes of the bodyguard were draped on unfamiliar faces, and the familiar carriages and horses had all changed their owners, and her pretty face turned pale. Why don't you understand that the original group of people were murdered? Terrified, she leaned back and held her hands to retreat.

Xia Houyu: "Are you going to kill me?"

Gu De: "It's better to kill him."

Let her live to bring the news to the outside world, and the two or three hundred of them will be finished. But the Lord has not spoken yet.

The woman was horrified and said: "Don't kill me, please don't kill me, I'm innocent too, please don't kill me!"

Shen Tang: “It's useless to be innocent.”

It is useful only if it is valuable.

She was about to draw her sword and give the woman a good blow.

The woman obviously knew that Shen Tang had the intention to kill, and there was no chance of her escaping. She was heartbroken: "Let me live! As long as you promise not to kill, I can help you! Otherwise, even if you Even if you take office, your identity will be revealed!”

Shen Tang tightened the reins and controlled the mule to stop.

Looking at the woman condescendingly: "Seriously?"

The woman was so nervous that her heart almost jumped out of her throat, but she still pretended to be calm: "Yes! I can help you cover."

Shen Tang would not easily believe a woman's words. If you want her to believe it, a woman must provide evidence.

Seeing that Shen Tang's sword did not fall, the woman knew that she had made the right bet. She swallowed hard to relieve her dry and burning throat, and tried to keep her voice from trembling. As he went through it one by one, Shen Tang realized that there was actually a hidden plot in it.

The man she just killed was not the original owner of the official certificate.

“Then who is he?”

Woman: “He is Mr. Lang's classmate.”

Not only are they classmates, but they are also classmates who have developed a deep hatred.

Let's use A and B instead of two people.

The real owner of Guan Ping is the second generation Zujia, who is fond of flowers and wine, and is like a lustful person. One day, classmate B fell in love with a man who had fled. A woman sold her body to bury her father. Person B liked her appearance and offered money to buy her. I just didn't expect that when I asked someone to go back and withdraw the money, the second ancestor bought it first. Not only that, but he also humiliated B with words.

Classmate B already held a grudge, but now his grudge is even deeper.

The second generation ancestor committed a crime, and his father and brother at home were disappointed, so they bought him a minor official and sent him away to avoid the limelight. Halfway through the journey, he was ambushed by classmate B and was replaced by him without a sound. Classmate B knows the second ancestor and has prepared countermeasures in advance.

Unexpectedly, another oriole appeared on the road.

The woman didn't like either of the men. The first second-generation ancestor bought and sold by force, and the head wife of the family had a strong personality. She threatened her on the first day she joined the family. She beat and scolded her and even used her short-lived father to make excuses. She had three miscarriages in a year and a half. The second one was just interested in her color, but for some reason, the other party accused her of being a licentious woman, saying that she was selling one girl and two.

Obviously she didn't do anything.

Her arms couldn't twist her thighs, she just wanted to live.

I thought I could survive by committing myself to the other party, but I didn't expect that he would also be short-lived and died tragically at the hands of the gangsters. If she doesn't want to die, she can only think of ways to please these gangsters.

Shen Tang cast his eyes on Xia Houyu and Xia Houyu.

“What do you think?”

Xia Houyu shook his head: "She didn't lie."

“In that case, keep it.”

Since Qi Yuanliang was not around, Shen Tang could not disguise himself as a man, so he asked Xia Houyu, whose body shape, temperament, and age were closer to his second-generation ancestor, to do it for him. The woman has been the concubine of the second generation ancestor A for more than a year, so she knows this person quite well.

The crisis was temporarily resolved, and the woman secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Xia Houyu was puzzled: "Why doesn't your lord kill this person?"

The woman did not lie, but she also did not tell the complete truth.

As a concubine from a commoner background, the help she can provide is very limited. At most, she can tell them the habits and interpersonal relationships of the original owner. Xia Houyu and others also sent people to inquire about this part. Not only could they hide the truth, but they could also fool them for a while.

It doesn't mean much whether to keep women or not.

Shen Tang said: "Probably because of fate."

Xia Houyu was puzzled: "Fate?"

Shen Tang smiled and said: "Her experience sounds like a fusion of "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Journey to the West", and her life experience is indeed quite pitiful. Killing her will not affect the overall situation, and not killing her will not affect... so why not leave her alive? ? As long as she doesn't want to die."

“You can kill or not, but I usually choose not to kill.”

Xia Houyu: “…”

If I remember correctly, the Lord killed the most people this way, right? Shen Tang was unhappy with what he saw and muttered: "Hey, don't I still need a wig? Which one of you or Yourong can make it? The wigs on the market are not good."

A woman's hair is good.

Hair is shiny black, long, straight and thick.

Give some evenly to yourself, it's just right.

The hair of the rangers she surrendered was either dry and frizzy or in short supply, which Shen Tang did not like. The only two people who could catch his eye were Xia Houyu and Gu De, who even said that their parents, who were affected by their body and hair, asked them to give their hair to them, but they refused!

Xia Houyu: “…”

This place is still three days away from the destination of taking office.

Three days are enough for a woman to weave a beautiful wig.

Shen Tang pulled his mind away from Zixu's perspective.

Inside the camp, she touched the thick black hair on top of her head and sighed in a low voice: "Why didn't we think of this way back then? Alas, if we could do this, I don't know how many detours we would have avoided..."

Zixu's territory here is much better than Wuyou.

Although the territory is not big, the advantage is that you don't have to be exploited.

Yes, exploited.

The person who exploited Wuyou was still the leader of the Cui clan, Cui Zhi.

As soon as she mentioned this matter, Shen Tang became furious!

　　It has always been your job to exploit others. When will it be other people's turn to exploit you? Do you really think she is still the same Shen Youli who was in Heyin and whose neighbors were not easy to mess with? But unfortunately, in the area under Wuyou's rule, many farmlands belong to the Cui family!

　　People are needed to reclaim wasteland.

Farming also requires people.

If the Cui family refused to cooperate, the rule would almost come to a standstill.

“Cui Erlang?”

Cui Mi chuckled, as if he didn't know anything about the situation: "I haven't seen you for a few days. Sister Shen, how are you doing recently?"

“Very good, I'm ready to give up my pick.”

Cui Mi was surprised: "Didn't Sister Shen just take office?"

"What are you going to do? You might as well go back and ask your good father what percentage of the rent he wants to collect from the tenants!" If a family like the Cui family were in the Kangguo territory, they would have killed all the eighteen generations of their ancestors with only their feet left. Neck, "Isn't it always 10% in the past?"

She came to take office and immediately raised the rent.

The common people under the rule knew at a glance that Mrs. Cui wanted to punish her.

There was no trace of surprise on Cui Mi's face.

“Sister Shen is angry about this?”

Shen·Wuyou·Tang asked back: "Otherwise? What else could be the reason? Since your father sincerely forces me to leave, that's fine. I'll just go and ask Cui Nujun if we can have a companion on the road together!"

Cui Mi stepped forward to stop her: "Sister Shen, I'm afraid she may have misunderstood."

“Misunderstanding, what misunderstanding can there be?”

“This is really not my father's intention.”

“Isn't that what he meant?”

Cui Mi: "The meaning of Wang Ting."

There is a shortage of food in the royal court, and the officials proposed to increase taxes.

The taxes in Qi State are different from those in other areas. The royal court will determine an average value based on the annual harvest, and the counties within the country will pay taxes based on this average value, which is equal to all places. This move can ensure the interests of the treasury, but there are drawbacks - the cultivated area and output vary from region to region. There are fertile lands and barren lands in Qi State. For example, in Wuyou, a place with many mountains and water but few fields, the per capita output is far lower than the average target line given by Wang Ting. In fact, it was not that serious at first, but as young people were overwhelmed and ran to other places and the population loss intensified, the pressure became more and more serious.

This place has been in arrears with taxes to the royal court for three years.

How did the babies do in the college entrance examination?
