"Ni girl?" Mo Xin called softly.
Ni Hong smiled and raised her head.
There was a slight look of pity.
Turning to look at Su Wen and others.
Seeing Zhao Jin, she asked, "Have you used the pill?"
"used!"
"How do you feel?"
"Infuriating energy and strength have been greatly enhanced. In terms of pure strength, it is slightly weaker than the eighth rank!" Zhao Jin replied honestly.
Ni Hongxiao walked to Zhao Jin's side, and stretched out her hand to take his pulse.
Zhao Jin took a step back subconsciously, avoiding her hand.
There is no way, this guy's hands are still full of blood.
Ni Hong smiled when she saw Zhao Jin's reaction, and reflected it, dissatisfied: "Everyone has blood, what do you have to hide?"
Said, went to the side to wash his hands.
After washing her hands, she came back again, picked up Zhao Jin's wrist, and after a while, she said: "It's okay, the side effects are suppressed to a controllable range, and it didn't cause too serious damage to the body, but it can't be used again within half a year. This thing, otherwise, might die because the body can't bear it!"
Su Wen had an illusion that he brought Zhao in to see a doctor... .
At this moment, Mo Xin interjected: "They want some individual weapons!"
As soon as this remark came out, Ni Hongxiao's eyes suddenly burst into a bright light, she took two steps back, looked at Zhao Jin, rubbed her chin and said: "It just so happens that I have a new research, and I haven't tried it on anyone yet... .Are you interested in giving it a try? The discounted price is 200,000 taels of silver, which is not a lot of money to Young Master Su!"
Zhao Jin swallowed his saliva.
Seeking help, he looked at Su Wen who was at the side.
Su Wen spread his hands, this kind of decision can only be made by Zhao Jin himself!
But he still asked: "Can you ensure the safety of your life?"
Ni Hong tilted her head and thought for a while with a smile, and said: "Life safety is not a problem, but physical disabilities cannot be ruled out, but don't worry, if I become disabled, I have other ways to remedy it... to ensure that the combat power will not be compromised." .”
As she spoke, she looked at Zhao Jin and said with a smile, "If you promise me, I can help you find some good things in three places!"
"What is it? You have to make it clear first!"
Zhao Jin is a man who doesn't see a rabbit or a hawk, not to mention, it's not a good thing for others to be an experiment target.
The explosion of Moxin's fusion cannon had already left a deep impression on Zhao Jin.
These spiritual masters may not be reliable.
Ni Hong smiled and pulled Zhao in to the side, the two murmured and didn't know what they said.
After a while, Zhao Jin came back, looked at Su Wen, and said in a deep voice, "Master, I have decided to promise her!"
At this moment, Chuhe opened his mouth and said, "Then I too..."
Zhao Jin shook his head directly, interrupted him, and said: "You are different from me, you know your own affairs, my martial arts cultivation base, it is extremely difficult to break through, it is not a bad idea to try another way, but you At the beginning, it’s understandable to choose something to save your life, but you can’t be like me!”
Ni Hong smiled dissatisfied and said: "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, what are you doing, come on, brother, let me introduce you to my newest..."
"Forget it!" Su Wen waved his hand and said, "Just do what Zhao Jin wants, he does it by himself."
Ni Hongxiao suddenly tilted her head to look at Su Wen, leaned close to Su Wen, and kept sniffing.
"There's something strange about you... why does it feel a little familiar..."
"The qi and blood are also stronger than ordinary people... It feels a bit like a North Sea storm ape... Animal blood that you drink directly?"
This woman is amazing.
Su Wen laughed and said, "There is also the Golden Witch God Gu!"
Ni Hong smiled happily: "I said! Why do you feel so familiar, Feng Baichuan, that picky bastard, I said to play with this thing, but he refused to give it to me, so he stayed in the military supervisor. Why did you use it?"
"Accident!" Su Wen said with a smile: "Accidental result."
Ni Hongxiao leaned close to him, and said in a low voice, "How about doing an experiment with my sister?"
Su Wen hurriedly took a step back... and said with a forced smile: "This is not very good."
Ni Hongxiao gently opened his collar, leaned forward, came to Su Wen, licked his lips lightly, and said seductively: "I heard that you are not lecherous? How about...do an experiment with my sister ... Sister is up to you... Sister has never had a man!"
Su Wen lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to the eye, observing carefully, the light and shadow effects, the curvature... But after looking at it, it is impossible to promise.
"It still doesn't work"
"Is it really not possible?"
"Really...really...not good."
"Hmph!" Ni Hong smiled and closed her clothes, and said with a cold face, "Zhao Jin's experiment is 300,000 taels! Give me the money!"
Zhao Jin refused to accept it and said, "Isn't it only two hundred thousand taels just now?"
Ni Hong glared at Su Wen with a smile, and scolded, "It's useless for him to look at me! My aunt hasn't been seen yet... The discount offsets it!"
"You're being unreasonable, and it's not what my young master wants to see... Obviously you made it up yourself..." Zhao Jin said unconvinced.
Su Wen smiled and waved his hands, signaling Zhao Jin to shut up, then took out the banknote, handed it to Ni Hongxiao, and said, "Sister Ni, don't worry!"
"That's about the same. I'll prepare and come back in three days!"
"good!"
Zhao Jin and others left.
Ni Hongxiao heard several people talking.
"Master, it's too bad. If you take a look at one hundred thousand taels, it's not worth the price if it's made of gold."
"What do you know, this woman uses you as a test product, you don't want to have any accidents, you should give some benefits, this is called stuffing red envelopes, learn it well, these disemboweled hands are black, don't give money just in case How about leaving something in your body?"
"Then... young master... is it good-looking?"
“Nice...excellent!”
"That seems to be okay..."
Ni Hong smiled and snorted and said: "Huh, you have a good eye... What can you add to Zhao Jin for the extra one hundred thousand taels... Let me think about it... Find a monkey to try it first Try! But it’s hard to find monkeys of the sixth rank, and it’s been a long time since there are no death row prisoners for high-ranking fighters, so annoying!”
The news of Su Wen's upcoming wedding spread in the capital, and many people came to congratulate him.
In front of Su Wen's house, a carriage stopped.
Ji Yuchen got out of the car, carrying some presents, and knocked on the door.
He opened the door and smiled, "Is it your old man again, or are you asking to see my young master?"
He still remembered this old man, after all, he was the only one who stood in front of Su Wen's house all night.
Ji Yuchen didn't put on airs either, and said with a smile, "Yes, please let me know, brother."
As he spoke, he handed over the name card.
Menzi shook his head and said, "My master is not here, I'm afraid you will be disappointed."
Ji Yuchen was taken aback, and smiled: "That's right, Mr. Su is busy with business, so the old man just waits outside the door."
After speaking, he got into the carriage.
At this moment, Su Wen was indeed busy.
In front of him was Xue Wanjun!
At this time, Xue Wanjun's mental state was extremely poor, and he was extremely lethargic, and he could not be seen as a high-ranking warrior at all.
After being imprisoned for nearly a month, Xue Wanjun couldn't take it anymore.
This seemingly endless time broke his mental defenses.
"I'm recruiting! Actually, I didn't know the Lizhou Hao family! But on the night we caught Hong Sanqian, someone came to me. He said he was from the Ma family. As long as I killed Hong Sanqian , and promised to let the Xue family ignore the imperial court's ban to do business in Lizhou!" After hearing this, Su Wen frowned.
"Who told them my whereabouts, which led to Lu Qingcai being silenced?"
"It's not me!" Xue Wanjun gritted his teeth and said, "They didn't ask me at all."
Su Wen believed that Xue Wanjun was not lying!
Because in terms of Xue Wanjun's current state, he is unlikely to lie.
But what Su Wen couldn't figure out was that there were only two people who knew that he and Lu Qingcai had met, one was Xue Wanjun and the other was Ruan Ze!
Because Xue Wanjun insisted on killing Hong Sanqian, Su Wen subconsciously thought that it was Xue Wanjun who betrayed his information.
Fatty Ruan!
Su Wen narrowed his eyes!
"Ruan Ze... tell me what you know about Ruan Ze!" Su Wen said in a deep voice.
Speaking of Ruan Ze's information, Xue Wanjun was even more delighted: "I don't know about Ruan Ze's background, but in the Department of Military Supervision, he and I are basically on the same level."
"Why?" Su Wen asked curiously: "It stands to reason that your cultivation should be stronger than his, right?"
Xue Wanjun smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, normally my cultivation base is more than a notch better than his, but in a real fight, I am no match for this fat man. He has a secret skill that can make a phantom of a demon god appear on his body. The power has greatly increased, and there is no problem with that guy's tough status at the sixth or even seventh rank!"
"Ruan Ze is only a silver sword deacon because his cultivation is not up to the standard, but his combat power is a proper gold sword deacon. In the team, I have to discuss things with him."
Xue Wanjun spoke the truth.
Su Wen fell into deep thought, did Lu Qingcai's death have anything to do with him? Was Ruan Ze betrayed, or did Lu Qingcai just die
But at present, it seems that the Ma family...is this Ma family again!
It was also the Ma family who led me and Murong Yan into Lizhou!
"What's the situation in the Ma family?"
Xue Wanjun said: "The Ma family in Lizhou is a well-known wealthy businessman in the world. They have countless businesses in the fields, and their hands and eyes are open to the sky. Even the court has its power. It is because of this that I will agree to them!"
"What happened to the disaster in Lizhou?" Although Su Wen didn't think Xue Wanjun knew about it, he still asked tentatively.
Sure enough, Xue Wanjun looked bewildered and said, "How do I know about the disaster situation in Lizhou? What does it have to do with me?"
Seeing what he said, Su Wen shook his head helplessly and said: "Okay, I will report this matter to His Majesty, and you can wait and see what happens then!"
"Let me out!" Xue Wanjun suddenly stood up!
Su Wen looked at him and said with a smile: "Isn't Master Xue indifferent? It's uncomfortable to stay here?"
"Let me out! Let me out! Please! Please!" Xue Wanjun only said this. A warrior of high status was tortured to the point of mental breakdown.
"Okay, put Mr. Xue in an ordinary cell!" Su Wen ordered, and Xue Wanjun heaved a sigh of relief, and sat down on the ground slumped.
Even if he is a status warrior, he can't bear this kind of long-term mental torture.
Coming out of the Secret Shadow Guard, Su Wen's heart sank.
The information given by Xue Wanjun is not to say that it is useless.
The problem is, it doesn't match the disaster situation at all!
I can only know that the Ma family wants to kill Hong Sanqian! Xue Wanjun made a favor.
After thinking about it for a while, a smile appeared on the corner of Su Wen's mouth.
"Enter the palace!"
If Xue Wanjun is recruited, it will be easy to handle, first report the matter to Emperor Zhou.
In the palace, Emperor Zhou listened to Su Wen's report.
He frowned, and said with a sneer: "What a big tone, a mere Ma family dares to let people ignore the imperial court's prohibition to do business? Can't I kill people? Go! Send someone to investigate for me! If the Xue family is really in the Liberation Army If Zhou ignores the imperial court's prohibition to conduct business, I will take care of them!"
That's right, Su Wen heard a very important point from the words, the Ma family dared to ignore the court's ban, wouldn't that be slapping Emperor Zhou in the face
With the character of the emperor, this kind of thing will not be tolerated.
"As ordered, I will go back and report to Master Situ!" Su Wen came down as ordered.
This can be regarded as the first step of the secret shadow guard's outward expansion!
Walking out of the main hall, Su Wen was just about to leave the palace when he found a little maid waving at him.
Su Wen looked around and found that there was no one else. After confirming that he was signaling to himself, Su Wen walked over.
The little palace maid pointed to the side hall and said in a low voice: "The seventh princess is in the hall, and I told you to go there, my lord."
Su Wen raised his eyebrows and stepped inside.
During that time, Zhao Wanrou was sitting on the steps in the main hall, seeing Su Wen with joy on her face, she got up immediately and plunged into Su Wen's arms.
"I...I miss you...but I dare not go to you..." Zhao Wanrou confided in a low voice.
The thought in the tone is beyond words.
Su Wen hugged her, but couldn't feel the girl's heartbeat.
Too thick.
"Take me away, okay?" Zhao Wanrou murmured, "Let's go to a place where no one can find... just you and me... and Ningshuang... and your concubine's room..."
"Take me away, okay? I don't want to be in this palace anymore." Zhao Wanrou stepped her head into Su Wen's chest, tears streaming down her face.
Su Wen knew that she didn't know how much courage she mustered to say such things to herself.
Feeling the girl's crying, Su Wen felt a little distressed.
"Don't worry! I will find a way to marry you! No matter what, I will not let you marry someone else." Su Wen said in a deep voice.
This is his most serious commitment.
Zhao Wanrou raised her head, the tears on her face were still wet, her eyes were full of hope: "Really?"
"Trust me! Huh!" Su Wen just said three words before his lips were blocked.
The girl's lips are cool.
But the feelings are extremely hot.
After some time, the two separated.
Both of them calmed down a little, Zhao Wanrou said softly: "I want to accompany Jundu in this life, and I hope you will live up to me in this life."
Su Wen: "..."
Uneducated, it's terrible...
Su Wen felt a little embarrassed for a moment, should he reply now
Isn't it a bit embarrassing not to return
He forcibly calmed down, his mind was running fast, and he finally choked out a sentence: "I would rather betray the people of the world than my love or Qing."
Everyone knows the first sentence, which is Boss Cao’s famous saying, and the latter sentence, the original text should be the law of peace in the world, no failure to fail the Tathagata and no failure to Qing, Su Wen was in a hurry, he didn’t care much, cut off half a sentence, the magic I changed it a bit, but I managed to get away with it.
It is to save face.
Zhao Wanrou fell into Su Wen's arms again, and the two embraced.
Su Wen closed his eyes and said silently in his heart: Thank you for the cultural heritage brought to me by the nine-year compulsory education... .
Coming out of the palace, Su Wen was a little confused, but he still went to find Situ first, informed Zhou Emperor of the order, and then returned home.
He knew that Situ would definitely find out what Emperor Zhou had told him.
What's wrong with not using him to do it and getting results
First, let's see what the quality of this Ma family is. Su Wen believes that as long as you start to investigate, it will be easy to pull out the carrots and bring out the mud. The most terrifying thing is that no one will investigate!
As soon as he arrived at the door, Su Wen saw Ji Yuchen.
"I've seen Mr. Su." Ji Yuchen cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Congratulations to Mr. Su on your upcoming wedding. This old man specially gave you some congratulatory gifts."
Su Wen laughed and said, "Thank you, old guy, let's go in?"
Su Wen prefers to call Ji Yuchen an old guy. Su Wen always feels that it would be awkward for him to call someone gay.
Ji Yuchen didn't care.
When the two entered, Su Wen smiled and said, "Why didn't you go back to Jiangzhou?"
Ji Yuchen shook his head and said, "During this time, I'm still sorting out the tax system Master Su said. I've considered it item by item. I plan to submit it to Your Majesty after sorting it out. I'll also ask Your Majesty for an official position and implement the tax system myself!"
Speaking of this, he said seriously: "This tax system is related to the people's livelihood and the country's destiny, but if someone with a wicked heart is in power, I'm afraid it will become a sharp weapon for him to make money! Fortunately, His Majesty has established the Secret Shadow Guard, and what Mr. Su has done these days is old. Said, it really injected a breath of fresh air into my Da Zhou officialdom! However, the corruption of the Da Zhou officials did not happen overnight, especially in the localities. This tax system is entrusted to others to implement, so I am not at ease! I must personally supervise it!"
Su Wen sighed: "I went out this time, and I really saw some darkness... I never thought that this official's association with the wealthy family would be so terrifying, it is simply inhuman!"
Ji Yuchen said coldly: "The people are the most pitiful, the most honest, the most peaceful, and they do the hardest work. They are satisfied with a full mouthful of food, but even so, there are still many people who don't care about their lives and want to squeeze The last bit of value in them."
Speaking of this, he sighed: "But the old man has nothing to do when he sees such a situation, but now that Mr. Su's tax system is in place, the people can at least have some hope, as long as the money is squeezed out of the hands of these officials, businessmen, wealthy families and dignitaries. , the treasury is rich, if His Majesty finds a way to give the people some benefits, it will gradually improve!"
While talking, Ji Yuchen took out a thick memorial, handed it to Su Wen and said, "Master Su, take a look, this is the tax system drafted by the old man and a few friends, is there anything wrong with it?"
Su Wen picked it up and examined it carefully, and saw that the handwriting was extremely neat and beautiful, not even worse than those printed in later generations.
He also had to marvel at the old guy's solid calligraphy skills.
As for the content, it is already extremely comprehensive, from the specific details of each tax system to the promotion of ideas, and finally to the extension of policies, almost everything can be thought of.
Combined with the current situation in Dazhou, make a little bit of careful planning.
Even the means of propulsion are included. Su Wen can tell how much effort this old guy has put into it just by looking at it.
It took nearly an hour to see this.
After closing the thick memorial, Su Wen breathed a sigh of relief.
There are too many things involved in the tax reform, and there are too many things to consider.
What he proposed was just an idea.
But the old fellow and his friends were the ones who perfected these taxes.
Finally, behind the tax system, Su Wen saw the signatures one by one.
Ji Yuchen said: "Originally there were eight people in total, but there are three old friends who don't want to cause trouble, so there are only five of us left. This is our joint memorial to His Majesty!"
Su Wen cut through them one by one, and found that they were all famous people today.
It seems that the literati of the Great Zhou Dynasty still have some character.
After pondering for a while, Su Wen looked at Ji Yuchen and asked with a smile, "Can I sign my name?"
Ji Yuchen was taken aback for a moment, then said happily, "Of course."
Su Wen knew that once this name came under him, it meant that he supported the proposal.
At the same time, it also represents standing on the opposite side of the great Zhou dignitaries.
But Su Wen has a special status. He is the Commander of the Secret Shadow Guard, and he is also the son of Su Changqing.
His statement can undoubtedly relieve a lot of pressure for these people.
Whether it's from inside or outside the court!
Ji Yuchen was a little puzzled: "Master Su, didn't you say that you didn't want to be exposed?"
Su Wen shook his head and said: "Didn't you say it? If everyone cherishes this body, will there be a clear time in the world? I think, sometimes, maybe I can live a little more recklessly!"
If Su Wen dared to do this, he naturally had his own ideas.
The last time Su Changqing came, he told Su Wen some inside information.
From Su Wen's point of view, it was impossible for the emperor to let himself die easily, and he also understood why Fu'an followed him to Lizhou!
To put it bluntly, it was to protect him and prevent him from having any accidents.
I am the future master of heaven! Well, although it is more doubtful!
but! My wife is also someone the emperor wants to reuse. If she marries him, no children will be born, and he will be gone. Wouldn't the emperor's plan be completely aborted
From which point of view, it is impossible for Emperor Zhou to let himself die.
In this case, is it okay to spend a little more time
Leaning on the emperor's back is not enough dick!
Can't shit on the emperor's head, can't shit on the heads of these aristocratic families
At this moment, a middle-aged monk led a young young monk in at the east gate of the Great Zhou Emperor's Capital.
The little monk looked extremely curious, looking left and then again.
"Master, you said you were going to pick someone up, where should we go?"
"Master, I want to eat that biscuit."
"Master, where are we going?"
The little monk babbled and kept asking questions.
The great monk didn't say a word... just went on by himself.
As he walked all the way, the pedestrians seemed to have not seen him, but they unconsciously stepped aside.
He walked straight to the palace with the little monk like this.
At the gate of the palace, the little monk opened his mouth wide: "It's such a long wall, whose house is this, it must be so big!"
The great monk opened his lips slightly, and said, "Huiming of Jinlun Temple asks to see the current Holy One!"
Only then did the little monk suddenly realize that this is the legendary palace, where the emperor lived.
Huiming's voice was not loud, but his voice drifted straight into the palace.
No one knew that Yao Gu's elder brother, Huiming, the abbot of Jinlun Temple, had stepped into the heavenly position!
Even Yao Gu didn't know, he only knew that his elder brother was at the ninth rank, but he didn't know that Huiming's cultivation level had broken through again after seeing him for many years.
In the palace, Emperor Zhou narrowed his eyes.
The old eunuch said in a deep voice: "Heaven!"
Heavenly masters are what Emperor Zhou longed for, but at the same time, what he needs is controllable and willing to work hard for heavenly masters!
It may not be a good thing for him to have a master of heaven in the rivers and lakes!
It can even be said that, from a certain point of view, this is a kind of constraint.
"Let him in!"
Emperor Zhou issued an order, and after a while, Huiming brought the young monk into the hall.
Seeing Emperor Zhou, the little monk smiled and said, "Are you the emperor? You are so pretty!"
"Zhizhen, don't be rude!" Huiming snapped.
The little monk stuck out his tongue, not daring to say any more.
It's just that in Emperor Zhou's heart, displeasure has risen.
Emperor Zhou looked at Huiming and asked coldly, "Why do you want to see me?"
