Chapter 491: Visiting Su Wenzheng
In the eyes of outsiders, this matter is nothing, but Chu Xian can feel that this is the other party provoking himself, originally Chu Xian asked the supervision of the imperial history to investigate Song Guangming, but as soon as the other party resigned, then many things were difficult to investigate.
It can be said that the other party's move was to catch Chu Xian off guard.
And the most powerful thing about the other party is that he resigned directly without making a decision on Zhou Qiangren's case, so that others interrogated Zhou Qiangren, and Zhou Qiangren would not reveal it even if he knew something.
In addition, Chu Xian was sure that Zhou Qiangren didn't know about Song Guangming at all, and with the shrewdness of a person like Song Guangming, how could he let his handle fall on a waste like Zhou Qiangren.
Now it seems that the energy behind Song Guangming cannot be underestimated, Song Guangming can resign, this is not powerful, what is powerful is that this resignation can be passed, which shows that the black hand behind it is enough to reach out to the six parts.
That's serious.
After thinking about it, Chu Xian directly wrote a paper crane biography, and asked the supervising imperial history to continue to investigate Song Guangming, and the other party wanted to stay out of the matter by resigning from the official position, and wanted to be beautiful.
And Chu Xian had a feeling that something would happen soon.
"The storm is coming. ”
Chu Xian released the paper crane, and the paper crane turned into a streamer and disappeared into the sky.
The wind was blowing outside, and the wind was not small, and the officials told Chu Xian that he had already entered the boundary of Swallowing Yang City.
Chu Xian lifted the curtain and looked out, and he could see that the sky was dark outside, Swallowing Yang City, the days were short, the nights were long, and there were often dark clouds covering the sky, so it was called Swallowing Yang.
There is no scorching sun in swallowing the sun, and the oblique moon is seen in the morning and evening.
"Stop!"
Chu Xian thought of something at this time and spoke.
At that moment, the team stopped, waiting for Chu Xian to give orders.
"How far is this place from Huai'en County in Swallowing Yang City?" Chu Xian asked, and an official next to him who was familiar with the boundary of Liangzhou immediately said: "Returning to Lord Shi, it's not far, at most half a day's journey." ”
Chu Xian nodded: "Then go to Huaien County first." ”
In a word, the team set off again.
Some of the accompanying officials were puzzled, why didn't they go directly to Swallowing Yang City, but to Huaien County first?
They were puzzled, but some people knew that there was an informed person at the moment: "You don't know this, that's because the first two of our Liangzhou Assassins are in Huai'en County." ”
"Which one is it?" the man asked.
"Su Wenzheng, Master Su!"
......
Chu Xian did go to see Su Wenzheng, this matter is reasonable, Chu Xian should come to visit, firstly, Su Wenzheng is a senior in the officialdom, and once served as the assassin of Liangzhou, and secondly, Su Wenzheng is kind to Chu Xian.
When Chu Xian was a county magistrate in Dinghai County, it was because of Su Wenzheng's recommendation that he had the opportunity to step into the Cave Candle Division.
You must know that they have never met each other, Su Wenzheng can be so supportive, how can Chu Xian not remember this kindness. In addition, Su Wenzheng is also upright as an official, because of the invasion of the demon clan, he took the initiative to resign and guard Huaien County, which is located on the border.
This is an example of an official in Chu Xian's heart, so since he came, he should have visited.
Huaien County, like Dinghai County, is out of the border of the county, pay attention to defense, far away, you can see the county defense, when you walk to the city gate, the county order inside has been reported by someone, hurriedly come to meet.
The county ordinance in Wynne County also seems to be decent, and there is nothing special about it. knew that Chu Xian was here to visit Su Wenzheng, so he took the initiative to lead the way.
Although Su Wenzheng resigned and became a common man, after all, he had sat in the history of Liangzhou Thorn, so the county order of Huaien County did not dare to slack off at all, and he often went to visit him on weekdays, so he was naturally familiar with the road.
"Lord Thorn Shi, Lord Su, since he came back from his resignation, he took the initiative to move and settle his home outside the county seat of Huaien, closer to the land of the demon clan, this is to better deter the demon clan, this mind and responsibility, let the lower officials be happy and convinced!" On the way, the county magistrate of Huaien said this, while introducing the situation in the county, he said that Su Wenzheng was good.
Chu Xian of Huaien County also saw that the scale is larger than that of Dinghai County, and it belongs to a large county.
The big county county order, the small county county Cheng, this is the rule of the low-level officials of the Holy Dynasty, Huaien County is a big county, so the one in charge of the party is the county order, and the county Cheng belongs to the adjutant.
Maybe someone reported it in advance, Chu Xian saw a mansion on the hill in front of him, and at this moment, someone was already standing at the door to greet him.
Although this person is dressed in cloth, his demeanor is complacent, and he has a kind of momentum, Chu Xian knows that if there is no accident, this person must be Su Wenzheng.
"Lord Chu, look up for a long time, look up for a long time!" Su Wenzheng said with a smile, he was dressed in cloth, his clothes were neat, almost spotless, and Su Wenzheng's cultivation was extremely high, in Chu Xian's opinion, he had reached the peak of the Dharma Body Realm.
One step further, there is the Dao Immortal.
No wonder you can guard the border with the strength of one person, and it will definitely not work without strength.
Chu Xian was also polite: "Master Su, Chu Xian is here to disturb." ”
"Where, where, please enter the cold house!" Su Wenzheng invited, Chu Xian gave way, and still stepped in.
After all, he is now in office as an assassin, and it is normal for Su Wenzheng to let Chu Xian take the lead.
Su Wenzheng's house is not big, two courtyards before and after, four houses, there is a grass pavilion stone bench in the backyard, built on a rockery, sitting on it, you can climb high and look far away, and see the land of the demon clan in the distance.
It can be said that if there is no demon clan to attack, the scenery here is really beautiful, and it is unforgettable to look at.
At this moment, Su Wenzheng invited Chu Xian to sit here, although it was the first time for the two to meet, they had a very happy conversation, and they had a tendency to hate each other.
After chatting for a long time, Su Wenzheng said: "Back then, I knew that Lord Chu would definitely soar into the sky, but Lord Chu, the speed of your promotion was much faster than Lao Yu expected, and he was really young and promising." ”
"Master Su praised Miao, Chu Xian came, firstly, to meet Lord Su and thank Master Su for his kindness back then, and secondly, to ask Lord Su for advice on the good way to govern Liangzhou. Chu Xian said sincerely.
Su Wenzheng smiled: "I don't dare to ask for advice, I have been away from officialdom for a long time, and it is far inferior to Lord Chu's opinion, but we can discuss one or two together." ”
Chu Xian thought for a while and asked directly, "Master Su, have you ever heard of the Six Alliances?"
Su Wenzheng looked stunned.
Although he quickly returned to normal, Chu Xian still caught the trace of unnaturalness in Su Wenzheng's expression.
"Lord Chu, have you made a grudge with those six alliances?" Su Wenzheng asked rhetorically.
Chu Xian nodded and admitted: "I have a grudge, and the grudge is not shallow." ”
"That's a nuisance. Su Wenzheng sighed and said, "Six Leagues, it's not easy to mess with." ”
Chu Xian smiled: "Why is it not easy to mess with?"
Su Wenzheng's expression was straight: "hidden, powerful, deep-rooted, rich and rival the country, and there are inextricable relationships with the officials of the Holy Dynasty, the old people did the history of assassination, and they still have to let them in some places, that is, they are afraid that they will mess up, and they will be feudal officials, and the most afraid is that there will be chaos in the state, to be more accurate, I am afraid that there will be problems with the livelihood of the people, once the livelihood of the people goes wrong, no matter how capable you are, no matter how outstanding your talent is, no matter how good you do, the above will immediately remove you, so this line cannot be touched." The most terrifying thing about the Six Alliances is also this, they have tentacles involved in various industries, and they do some tricks and tricks casually, such as raising the price of a certain commodity, resulting in a shortage of supply, these officials can't even see it, even if something goes wrong, they are unaware. ”
When Chu Xian heard this, he also frowned, and secretly said that he had found the right thing to find Su Wen this time, and other officials didn't know anything about this kind of thing.
If the other party really does something about the livelihood of the people, it is indeed quite fatal, if there is a problem, the assessment of the assassin history on the part of the ministry will be added, if the problem is big, it is possible to remove it directly.
"Do they have the guts?" Chu Xian asked at this time, obviously a little unbelieving.
"If it's secret, unnoticed, and there is no evidence to prove that they did it, what are they afraid of?" Su Wenzheng said with a smile.
Chu Xian understood what it meant.
If the Six Leagues really have this ability, it will inevitably make the whole thing look 'logical', just like to manipulate the price of rice, then it will inevitably do enough preparatory work, and then make the rise in the price of rice look flawless, this is logical, the most troublesome thing is that this kind of thing is extremely difficult to detect, and there is no trace to be found, but once it breaks out, the lethality is quite large.
"I know that Lord Chu, you are good at investigating and chasing the murderer, but this time, it is not a major murder case, and you may not even be able to figure out the other party's methods, but fortunately, the Six Alliances are businessmen, and businessmen seek profits, and they will not do things too desperately, so as long as they turn a blind eye to them, they can be safe, after all, compared to them, the most important thing in the land of Liangzhou is to defend against the demon clan. Su Wenzheng said this, and there was a trace of tiredness and helplessness in his voice.
"As an official, you must pay attention to compromise, this point, Lord Chu can sit on the position of assassin at a young age, it should be very clear. Su Wenzheng said.
Chu Xian nodded: "Yes, as an official, you really have to know how to make trade-offs and know how to compromise, but in Chu Xian's opinion, the trouble of the Six Alliances is higher than that of the demon clan." ”
Su Wenzheng's face was stunned by these words, and then he smiled.
"Lord Chu, what you said is a bit alarmist, the Six Alliances are just a group of businessmen, how can their harm be higher than that of the Demon Clan?" Obviously, Su Wenzheng did not agree with Chu Xian's words.
Chu Xian didn't want to argue about a high ground in this matter, so he diverted the topic and said, "Let's ask Master Su, do you know the details of the Six Alliances?"
Su Wenzheng secretly said in his heart to test me? He smiled at the moment: "The so-called six alliances are actually six chambers of commerce, and the covenant is just a statement, on the surface, there is no such thing as the six alliances, and their details are also known to the old decay, they are De Ruixiang, Hundred Beasts Hall, Yaowangguan, Longquan Temple, Shangwumen, Qingyan Pavilion, this is the six major chambers of commerce, referred to as the six alliances. ”
Chu Xian nodded again and again when he heard this, obviously Su Wenzheng's assassination history was not in vain, and he still knew the Six Alliances very thoroughly.
Even Chu Xian didn't know much about the details and composition of the Six Alliances, but he just knew that there was such a chamber of commerce alliance.
