"Activities? What activities?"
Zhao Feng has been ordered around by Shen Tang recently.
He was either doing demolition and moving bricks or working on the farmland. In addition, he was not one of Shen Tang's team members after all, and paying too much attention to the situation in Fugu City could easily cause unnecessary misunderstandings - for example, he was spying on Shen Jun as the spy of Lord Wu Xian - he really didn't know what big moves Shen Tang had made recently, and subconsciously frowned. . .
He was worried that this matter had something to do with him again... Being ordered around was one thing, but he was afraid that if the news got back, he would be laughed at.
Zhao Feng followed Qin Li and joined Wu Xian halfway.
In essence, Zhao Feng was not as "pure" as Wu Xian's other generals. Strong warriors were always a bit arrogant, and Zhao Feng did not get along very well with the others. If they knew about it, it would inevitably cause trouble.
He is habitually nervous.
Captain Yang seemed not to notice his strange expression.
Smiling faintly: "Well, it is said that it will be very lively."
This piece of news caused quite a stir. Even Captain Yang, who always kept to himself, heard about it several times and became interested.
Zhao Feng silently took note of this little thing.
He took the two jars of Du Kang's collection, which were said to be eighteen years old, and nodded. He did not forget to show his appreciation for the good wine and invited Captain Yang: "If it's really interesting, we have to join in the fun. When will Mr. Yang get off work? Why don't you and I have a couple of drinks?"
Captain Yang: "Any time."
He didn't want to refuse an invitation to drink.
He raised his hand and called for someone to take his shift, then went to a street restaurant with Zhao Feng, found a table, and ordered two side dishes.
Fu Gu is poor, and supplies are scarce in the city.
Even the restaurants don't have many good dishes.
Fortunately, the fine wines were good enough to make up for the shortcomings.
After taking a sip of Du Kang, Zhao Feng said, "It is indeed a good wine, but why is it exactly the same as what I drank at Shen Jun's place?"
This jar of Du Kang wine doesn't seem to be newly brewed.
The wine is clear and transparent, with a lingering sweet taste.
You can smell the strong aroma of wine even before you get close.
It is indeed a rare fine wine.
only-
"Is this Du Kang really eighteen years old?"
Zhao Feng was very curious about this question.
Captain Yang said, "That's what the inventory book says."
The wine cup in Zhao Feng's hand paused, and his expression froze.
Then he asked, "Do you have any other good wine?"
Captain Yang said, "Yes."
Zhao Feng asked: "How many years?"
Captain Yang replied: "They are all eighteen years old."
After saying that, he repeated it again.
"That's what the inventory book says."
Zhao Feng: “…”
For a moment, his mood was complicated.
It's like spending 99 to buy a product priced at 999, and feeling smug thinking you got a bargain, but when you turn around, the store puts a 9.9 tag on it...
Needless to say, this is definitely Shen Jun's method.
Mr. Shen, who was being nagging by Zhao Feng, was not in a very good mood at the moment, and could even be described as "furious".
Gu Chi looked at the clerk who was about to walk against the wall with his head in his arms, and he was suspicious and stopped him: "What's going on?"
When the clerk saw that it was Gu Chi, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He crossed his hands and greeted: "Mr. Gu."
The clerk carefully glanced in the direction of Shen Tang's office in the distance, with a little fear in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, and then he replied: "It's Mr. Shen. Mr. Shen is in a bad mood at the moment."
He carefully described Shen Tang's situation.
Gu Chi asked: "Why is the lord in a bad mood?"
He and Shen Tang were also "in cahoots" in private, and the latter always liked to use him to say some "bad ideas" that didn't fit her seemingly bright and sunny personality. She was too lazy to speak, and even told him to do something, she just kept mumbling in her mind.
Gu Chi can glimpse "the other side of Shen Jun" that outsiders cannot see - for example, Shen Jun, who seems gentle, cheerful and careless to outsiders, is actually quite introverted and restrained.
When it comes to her own people, she is generous with her smile and joy, but she is also extremely "stingy" with her real negative emotions. Unless her emotions reach a critical point, she will restrain herself from being angry, instead of being frightened into silence and acting as if she is facing a great enemy even by the petty officials.
This is very rare.
The clerk whispered, "It seems to be because of what happened last time."
Gu Chi was puzzled: "What happened last time?"
The clerk reminded him: "Zhujia Village."
"Hasn't the group of people from Zhujia Village been dealt with?"
The clerk said, "The group from Zhujia Village has been dealt with, but wasn't Miss Yu Zi's mother sold to Zhuangjia Village? Mr. Shen also sent someone to Zhuangjia Village..."
Gu Chi searched his memory and found that this incident had indeed happened.
Yu Zi's mother was sold to a father and his two sons from Zhuangjia Village, but because Yu Meiren refused to give in and did not give birth to the child they were expecting for three years, she was returned. The three exchanged her for another foolish woman from the kidnapper, Yu Zi's grandfather and grandmother.
The people sent by Shen Tang rescued the woman.
After some investigation, it was discovered that the woman had a legitimate husband before she was kidnapped by the old couple Zhu. Her husband was a hunter who never gave up looking for her. The hunter heard about this and came to get his wife back, and sued the three of Zhuang Lao Lai Tou and his son.
Originally, they wanted to sue the old couple Zhu, but they had already reported to the King of Hell.
The appeal process was not smooth.
There were some minor setbacks.
Gu Chi listened carefully and said, "It is indeed hateful, but it is not enough to make the lord so angry—"
The case was clear and straightforward.
There shouldn't be any other reversals.
None of the three deadbeats in Zhuangjia Village can escape.
"What really made Mr. Shen angry was not this case, but the few stubborn people who obstructed the case. The hunter's wife changed hands twice and was trapped in the devil's den for sixteen years. During this time, she was forced to give birth to five sons and one daughter. The oldest child is already fifteen years old..." The clerk lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Shen wanted to settle accounts, but the eldest child appealed and petitioned, hoping for forgiveness..."
Gu Chi raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
"Forgive? Forgive whom?"
The clerk asked back, "Who else could it be? Of course it was their fathers. The petition even directly stated, 'The mother was stupid and the father took her in out of pity, and he was not in collusion with the kidnappers.' Listen, they are still doing good deeds, and they are not stealing someone else's wife..."
Even the biological son jumped out to defend his father.
Jointly guarantee the biological father’s innocence.
As witnesses, they denied the fact that they had beaten and forced the hunter's wife. With the help of other villagers, they even said that their biological mother had lost her memory and wandered here and was taken in by their biological father. They were also a legitimate married couple, not abducted.
There was also a period of loving time after marriage.
How can a man and a woman who don’t love each other have children? How can a woman who doesn’t love her husband be willing to give birth to so many children for him? The child’s petition also suspected that the hunter had made a false accusation. After all, the woman was already stupid. Who could prove the hunter’s statement
We can just let the hunters arrange everything.
Compared to the hunter's words, what he said as the woman's biological son was obviously more powerful.
I hope Mr. Shen will release his father without charge.
and restore its reputation.
When the clerk saw the petition, he trembled.
He could already anticipate how dark Shen Jun's face would be.
As expected, Shen Jun's face was as gloomy and frightening as putty mixed with seven or eight layers of soot from the bottom of a pot.
The clerk was so frightened that his heart almost couldn't bear it.
Gu Chi: "This is really like turning on the lights in the toilet..."
The clerk was puzzled: "What do you mean?"
Gu Chi said: "Looking for shit (death)."
The lord's witticisms are just so interesting.
But the petty official was completely confused.
When Gu Chi walked over, he could hear Shen Tang angrily spouting all kinds of trash talk from a long distance away.
"My lord, Gu Chi wants to see you."
Shen Tang's voice came from inside the room: "Come in."
Shen Tang was still angry. Gu Chi looked at her hair and tried to comfort her, "My Lord, there is no need to get angry over such a villain. It is not worth it."
"Rather than being angry, I feel chilled."
Gu Chi agreed: "After all, there are very few people like Miss Yu Zi who have a clear mind and a clear distinction between gratitude and resentment."
The original family that gave birth to them is a fishy and dirty stinking ditch. Growing up by absorbing nutrients from such a ditch, how many of them can truly remain untainted by it
Gu Chiqian smiled and said, "Isn't there a saying that goes 'A dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse's son digs holes in the ground'? Although this is not absolute, it does make some sense. If there is someone like Yu Zi, of course I am happy. If not, there is no need to be disappointed."
Shen Jun's emotions are very precious.
Those unruly people are not worthy.
Shen Tang adjusted his mentality slightly.
Then Gu Chi asked, "My Lord, how are you going to deal with this?"
With Shen Tang's current influence in Fugu City, she can have the final say without having to worry about those two unruly people. However, this is a bad example. Once this door is opened, there is no guarantee that there will not be people below who will follow suit and disregard the law.
Again, the same words -
Those unruly people are not worthy.
Shen Tang frowned and said, "I'll ask Ji Shou to come over to discuss this. I won't feel comfortable if I don't deal with those people properly. If I don't feel comfortable, their ancestors' graves won't rest in peace!"
Say the cruelest words with the most harmless expression.
Gu Chi: "Yes."
This problem is also very simple to solve.
Kang Shi, as an "outlaw" who is proficient in the loopholes in the laws of Geng and Xin countries and can freely explore them, made Shen Tang suddenly enlightened after a little guidance. The coldness on his face seemed to melt away, and he laughed maliciously.
It is impossible to be innocent.
The woman and the two subsequent buyers either registered the household register in place of another stranger, or simply did not have a clear relationship, which means that the relationship between the two is invalid and can be treated as adultery. Even if the two buyers argued in court that they had never touched the woman, it doesn't matter that they are "married in name only" but not "married in reality". What about those living descendants
How can a man and a woman have a child without being a married couple
Don't even bother paying attention to the child's complaint.
but-
Filial piety is commendable. According to the laws of the Xin Kingdom, filial sons and daughters can share the punishment for their elderly parents.
Shen Tang was surprised: "Is there such a weird thing?"
Kang Shi said: "Yes."
Assuming that all five punishments fall on two people, each will bear half of the punishment. Although they will be disabled, their lives will be saved.
It is not impossible for a "filial son" to die in his place.
His father had to wear mourning for his "filial son" and was unhappy for three years.
The previous sentence is shameless.
The second sentence is a fig leaf.
Shen Tang was speechless for a long while after hearing this.
"My goodness, this is a resurrection armor."
Kang Shi didn't understand what the "Resurrection Armor" was, but he could figure out its general meaning by referring to the context. He said helplessly, "This is what the powerful people of Xin State use to avoid risks. It is also a microcosm of the chaos in Xin State's governance..."
You really only have one life.
But I have more than one child.
The legitimate sons and daughters, the illegitimate sons and daughters, and even the temporary adopted sons and daughters who were forced to die in the later period when the Xin State was about to be destroyed, were all rotten and stinking from top to bottom. This was the one that Kang Shi disliked the most, and he would frown and spit on it whenever he saw it.
However, Kang Shi didn't expect it to be useful.
Of course, Shen Tang didn't use it. There was no need to start such a bad example just to deal with a few ungrateful people she didn't like. Once Shen Tang used it, it would be equivalent to personally acknowledging the "legitimacy" of "it" under her rule, which would cause endless troubles.
Shen Tang's mood didn't improve until this unpleasant incident was over. In addition, the "First Fugu City New Year Sports Games" was about to open, and her attention was drawn to it.
Pay attention to the preparation of sports venues.
It is called a venue, but in fact it is just a cordoned off area.
Not much effort was put into it at all.
However, the small market near the venue took a lot of thought.
However, Shen Tang has not seen it with his own eyes.
On this day, she relied on internal competition to finish today's workload an hour ahead of schedule, rubbing her sore neck and wrists, and wandering out to the street. No one knew that this bright young man who quietly mixed into the crowd was the governor of He Yin County.
It gets dark earlier in winter.
It's already getting dark at this point.
Lanterns were hung in the makeshift small market.
They are all neat and uniform, with the word "Shen" pasted on them.
Shen Tang was slightly stunned.
She was overwhelmed by official duties all day long. She was so busy that she didn't know what year it was. She seldom went out shopping - there was a shortage of supplies in Fugu City and there was really nothing to go shopping.
But she didn't expect that the small market was "rich" enough to hang lanterns. Although there were not many and they were not very bright, compared to the pitch-black Fugu City at night, the light emitted by these lanterns was like fireflies in the dark.
The sky above is full of stars.
The floating city on the ground...
Sooner or later the lights will burn and the night will be as bright as the day.
It becomes a shining pearl on the earth after nightfall.
Suddenly, an indescribable sense of accomplishment came over me.
Night markets are common in other places, but they are very rare in Fugu City. Shen Tang saw the shadows of people in the small market, and a relieved smile appeared on her lips. When she got closer, she found that many pedestrians were moving towards a certain place, and she squeezed in out of curiosity.
Just pat the common people around you.
"Fellow villagers, what are you looking at?"
The common people who were tapped on the shoulder only glanced at her quickly.
The light around was dim, and Shen Tang was wearing a nine-tailed fox mask with a white background and red patterns that he had bought on the street. The common people did not recognize that this young man was the county magistrate Shen Jun who was respected by the common people of Fugu City.
He just casually replied, "Watch wrestling."
Shen Tang: "Wrestling?"
"Yes, we are playing."
Shen Tang muttered.
"Hasn't the sports meet started yet?"
The beginning has not yet begun.
But who doesn’t want to get good grades
Not only can you win the mysterious prize awarded by Shen Jun, but you can also show your face in front of Shen Jun, which is a two-pronged approach.
Practicing in advance can also help you test your opponent's strength.
The venues were all open-air, with a bunch of burly men wrestling with their bare chests, confronting each other, or brandishing swords and guns with great vigor. Wouldn't the common people come to join in the fun
A feast for the eyes.
