His facial features are relatively subtle. When his face is expressionless, he shows off his scholarly demeanor. Once the corners of his lips curve up, he instantly switches from a country gentleman to a treacherous gangster. He has a face that makes you want to slap him. Three Part of it is treacherous, part of it is vulgar!

Cui Mi: "..."

He looked at Shen Tang, who was sitting at the top.

The latter is as stable as a mountain and has no intention of making decisions for him.

Cui Mi's mood at the moment coincided with that of Liao Qian not long ago. The two of them were in the same boat! He could only choose to suffer the loss of being dumb.

??????55.??????

Fortunately, Lio Jia did not stay long.

On the third day, he disappeared.

Liao Qian breathed a sigh of relief, glad that the red-robed monster was gone. When he returned to his room, he saw an unfamiliar scroll on the table. The scroll was brand-new in color and luxurious in texture. He had a complicated look on his face. The person in the painting was only in his early twenties. , with her unmarried girl's hair in a bun.

His appearance is not that outstanding, or even ordinary.

There are only a few bits of information, but everything is weird.

How could an ordinary appearance attract the attention of the emperor? It is a common custom in the southwest that women get married when they are young, so the dress of the woman in the painting conflicts with her age. Until Liao Qian opened the letter next to her.

All doubts have been answered.

Liao Qian murmured: "It is indeed a dog."

He grabbed this letter and went to see Shen Tang.

"Does County Magistrate Shen know where that person went?"

Shen Wuyoutang immersed himself in handling official documents: "It's not the time to know yet. When the time comes, you will know."

Liao Qian had no choice but to give up.

The sea of ​​​​people is huge, and there is nothing he can do if the Lord does not tell him.

He went about his work step by step every day, when it was time to go on duty and when it was time to practice. He watched the sky-high-priced grains obtained with a five-and-a-cent loan being planted in the fields - he didn't understand. It was almost winter. Is it definitely the rice planting season? Others also had the same question, but they just didn't dare to say it because of Shen Tang's consistent iron-blooded methods.

If this batch of grain is wasted, we will learn a lesson. As long as the government pays monthly salary on time, who cares?

Don't worry about every matter that doesn't concern you.

After all, Liao Qian is the young confidant that Cui has spent all his efforts to cultivate. He was originally planned to be reserved for his eldest son Cui Xiong, so he is naturally very capable. He is particularly keen on outside intelligence. Even if he is in a poor area where there is no place for food, he can still I vaguely smelled a bit of a weird atmosphere - something big happened to the outside world in the past few months?

"Have you received news from the clan recently, Mr. Erlang?"

He turned to Cui Mi for information.

Cui Mi came over with a sideways glance: "What do you want to know?"

Liao Qian said: "I just feel weird lately."

It seems that we rarely hear news about the family anymore.

In the past, there would often be rumors about the husband of a certain family who was elegant and gifted in literature, or the female monarch of a certain family who was beautiful and charming, or which family was extremely beautiful, or who was hosting a meandering wine banquet in that family. ...There are even scandals about the children of various families. The common people are very interested in these stories.

It's been too cold lately.

Cui Mi thought he was going to ask something.

He leaned back, wrapped his elbows around the hemp rope of the swing, ate some snacks, and replied casually: "I have too much time to take care of myself."

"Too busy to take care of yourself?"

Cui Mi said: "Everyone is as cross-eyed now."

"Cross-eyed?"

Cui Mi said: "Yes, all the families who used to be able to live in peace and harmony suddenly became dissatisfied with each other for some reason. There were fierce fights in the court, and new scenes were staged every day. It was so chaotic.

, it’s exciting just thinking about it.”

"How could this be?"

Cui Mi took a sip of the egg custard.

"From what my eldest brother wrote at home, it seems that each family has lost something, something very deadly. Each one of them suspected that the enemy had stolen it through his spies. They were trembling and suspicious at the same time. How could they still be in the mood to save face?"

"Lost something?"

Cui Mi guessed: "Aristocratic family, how many of them have clean butts? I guess these things can make their shit-stained buttocks stick out in front of others. No one can afford to disgrace this person!"

Liao Qian: "..."

He just wanted to know how these deadly things were lost.

Who stole it again!

Cui Mi said: "My brother said it might be the handiwork of the king."

Liao Qian knew this was impossible.

As long as the king has this control ability, he will not have to fight openly and covertly with the aristocratic family for many years, and it will be difficult to implement a new policy. If it were her, she would only need to show things to make the aristocratic family obedient, why wait until now and make people panic?

Cui Mi said: "The truth is not important. What is important is that the thing was really lost, or was it lost unknowingly. And the leader of the country has indeed gathered a lot of power during this period. She is the most suspicious."

Cui Mi has also been a little worried recently.

The contents of the letters home from my brother started by asking me how I was doing, and gradually turned into asking me for advice and how to get along with women. My fiancée was becoming more and more valued by the ruler of the country. What should I do? My fiancée was very favored.

This means that the favor was taken away from Mei Meng, his former confidant. Will he be targeted by the latter?

Cui Mi: "..."

Liao Qian worried: "Will it affect us?"

"It's not enough for such a big place to be used as a pawn for the big shots! Instead of worrying about how the struggle above will affect us, it's better to think about whether the rice planted at this time will lead to famine in the coming year..."

Liao Qian deeply agreed: "Erlangjun is right."

at the same time--

Shen Tang, who had put on furry winter clothes early, patted the table and said: "I repeat, what do these people mean? It's Tiangang. Do you want to use these few people to use my hundreds of thousands of roundworm medicine in vain? What a chicken feather,

Just send these few people?"

"They are not buying medicine money..."

Shen Tang lifted the table and walked away.

Qi Julang and others had to fly with their legs to catch up.

"This is a New Year's gift to you."

Shen Tang only cares about one thing: "New Year's gift? They also know that the New Year is coming! Don't you know that you can't go into debt to celebrate the New Year? Has the money for the roundworm medicine been settled? If not, can I go and ask for it?"

One of the benefits of becoming a big country——

Some neighboring small groups came to pay tribute to the pier.

In addition to gold and silver jewelry, there are beauties and even clan daughters. In view of Shen Tang's gender, the candidate was a clan daughter.

This time, the gift was different from the past.

People came through exchanges between the two countries. They went through complicated procedures and were delivered to Shen Tang. People are a national gift!

It's true that it didn't happen before, but it wasn't on such a large scale.

This year is extraordinarily different.

The envoy from another country openly stated the purpose of the tribute in the court hall, almost catching Shen Tang off guard.

The "national gift" also knew the mission he was carrying, and did not resist or flatter Shen Tang. His appearance was indeed one of the best. When he met Shen Tang, there was a flash of surprise in his eyes. In addition to him, there were also More than twenty dowry.

"I would like to use my body to protect the good of the two countries~" After the dynasty, Gu Chi wrapped himself in a heavy winter coat and picked up his throat to imitate the "national ceremony" speech accent, "Tsk, this is the first time I see the Lord leaving the civil and military ministers behind. , left ‘Sanchao’ behind and left, I was very angry.”

Bai Su put the teapot filled with clean snow on the stove and said in a calm tone: "You don't care about your heart when you give it away. In the past, no woman who was sent out for marriage could be so proud and arrogant that she could say such a thing... He really Treat yourself like a dish."

The Lord only felt that he was humiliated.

Gu Chi said: "It's the Chinese New Year, so it's not good to use troops."

The Lord was furious and his colleagues were overjoyed.

Every one of them started to fight and fight!

Bai Su: "Who makes military glory so rare?"

In war, a division must have its reputation. You cannot hit whoever you want. The other party will send you a ready excuse. It would be a pity not to take the opportunity to attack. It's just right. Let's try the attitude of the countries in the central continent.

I can’t even wait for the beginning of spring, and there are still a few months until the Chinese New Year.

Colleagues all want a quick resolution.

Gu Chi: "Then this excuse is a bit forced. Your Majesty doesn't care, but you must always worry about the name of Shi Shu in the future."

The excuse for sending troops to destroy the country was that the other party gave him a man.

It sounds a little outrageous.

If you send a woman, you will be beaten, and if you send a man, he will be beaten, too difficult to take care of!

Shen Tang decided to send an envoy to ask for money first.
