The 175th chapter river trip (2)(1/2)
"Xu Da is indeed dishonest."
Zhang Xing is also a little helpless. It’s not just Wang Shuyong. In the past few days, from Puyang to Weinan, there are more people exaggerating than Wang Wulang. But Wang Wulang is Wang Wulang after all, and he can’t be fooled like before. "But this guy.
He confessed when he came up, and his attitude was still upright. His biggest problem was to eliminate dissidents, pursue his own agenda, withhold taxes from Dongjun and Dongwu counties in order to support private soldiers, and privately promised positions and assignments in the gang on the premise of personal loyalty.
, smuggled a large amount of alcohol and food, but did not report the grain to the public, and did not pay any taxes. Even the rewards for the fields were done outside the gang. Both the favor and the prestige were due to him. Half of the decrease in taxes in Dongjun was to be destroyed.
On the head of his private soldiers, it is a matter of profit and loss."
Wang Shuyong was stunned for a moment.
And Xu Shiying finally opened his eyes, instinctively wanting to say something, but after meeting Zhang Xing's casual gaze, he kept silent again, but still rolled up his body-protecting energy like a python and sat down.
Close your eyes and meditate there.
It seemed like he was practicing some magical technique, or like he was raising a pet.
After a while, Wang Wulang hesitated, and finally asked: "So, the third brother really found him during the tax inspection?"
Zhang Xing was silent for a while, and then he raised his hands and said: "Wu Lang, do you think that my trip is just to engage in some personnel and political conspiracy? Even with Xu Dalang, there are mostly conspiracies? There may even be
There are some theories that Xu Dalang and I are in a group, and we want to join forces to lure some people into being fooled? There are also some outrageous rumors, saying that I came here just to play a big game, to catch them all in one fell swoop, and then be useless.
To help, to rule the roost, or something like that?”
Wang Wulang nodded: "Rumors are flying all over the sky. But the most common rumor is that Jiyin and Dongjun have already agreed that Xu Dalang will mutiny here, and Wu Changzai, one of the Wu brothers, has also been roped in.
Third brother is going to be dealt with here."
"Those are actually other people's rumors and have nothing to do with me." Zhang Xing waved his hands. "They are just speculations about my behavior. What do you think?"
"I don't think it's reliable, but I dare not take it seriously." Wang Wulang became more cautious.
"Then let me tell you, you can organize your personnel, or even shoot rabbits in the grass, just in case you can lure some people into being fooled."
"However, if you think based on this that I act unscrupulously and get into trouble purely by strategy, you are looking down on me." Zhang Xing said seriously. "Before the rebellion, I actually did a lot of assassinations, raids, and conspiracies.
Most of the people even tended to use the strategy of making a big move. But after the rebellion, they talked about more rules and put up some signs of being fair and aboveboard. This does not mean that they will no longer engage in conspiracies and assassinations, but that everything must be based on fairness. This is what we created together.
Yes, you should have seen it with your own eyes."
Wang Wulang thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be true, so he nodded.
"For example, it doesn't matter what you think about this matter, but you shouldn't think wrong about Xu Dalang." Zhang Xing continued to speak slowly with his hands behind his back. "Since I blew the whistle in public, saying that he made a mistake, I said
To deal with him, it basically means that we have the evidence and confession and must deal with him, rather than using these words to make false threats and intimidate him, do you understand what I mean?"
Wang Wulang thought about it again and answered seriously: "Brother Zhang means, no matter what, things on your side can always work out on the surface?"
"That's what I mean." Zhang Xing nodded repeatedly. "There may be a lot of truth in it, but it must make sense on the surface. At least it won't let honest people and decent people suffer. If you feel smart about this kind of thing, you can guess it.
He is proud of his own success and failure in his own affairs, but on the surface he will do things according to my words and he will never suffer any loss. I said that I would come to inspect the place this time and not care about anything else, so I will definitely do the inspection seriously;
I said that if Xu Dalang is not dealt with, it will be difficult to achieve a great cause of help. Regardless of whether he rebels in anger or surrenders, we must deal with him!"
Wang Wulang nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't help but ask again: "So what are you going to do with Xu Dalang?"
"This place in East County has been cleaned up. It should be punished and copied. But a mistake is a mistake and a merit is a merit. This guy's attitude was so good. Afterwards, he was dismissed as the leader and let him go to the river.
Bei replaces Shan Tonghai to see the consequences. He will make no mistakes for a year and a half and then resume his status as the big leader." Zhang Xing blurted out. "Let Shan Tonghai take charge of the East County, and you will still be on the western front."
"I thought I would." Wang Wulang laughed dryly and breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's about politics." Zhang Xing sighed. "It's not just about cherishing his talent, but Xu Dalang, Shan Dalang and you are the ones who formed the gang after all. As long as there is no rebellion, there must be a way to rebel.
, otherwise it will shake the foundation. But on the other hand, if you really take that step, even the higher level will not be able to get around it."
Wang Wulang relaxed even more: "That's good, that's good." But he didn't know which one was good.
After a while, Wang Shuyong was about to leave, but after thinking about it, he said seriously: "Actually, brother Zhai Qian is indeed a little unhappy."
"Zhai Qian came faster than you." Zhang Xing blurted out.
"It may not be safe to come fast." Wang Shuyong's expression did not change. "Although Zhai Qian himself is a little dawdling, he has been fighting with the third brother more or less. He is absolutely aware of the kindness and power of the third brother, but his brothers
I have always been too lazy to eat, so staying here is just making money. Since Third Brother wants to inspect the place, he must at least clean up a place in Dongjun. And here in Dongjun, Xu Dalang accounts for more than half, and the battle between Niuda and Chanyuan is completed.
That way, there is nothing to worry about. I am also on the sidelines, and I have to obey after all. Only brother Zhai Qian and Huang Junhan are here, so I am afraid it will be really difficult to deal with."
"Then don't clean it up for now, and clean it up when you have to." Zhang Xing didn't panic at all.
When Wang Shuyong heard this, he knew that the other party was careless, so he stopped caring about it and just said goodbye: "I am out of town for the time being, but it is much more useful. According to the calculation, it will be very convenient for me to return to the camp in ten days and also in the Zaiping area."
, Third brother, just call me anytime if you need anything."
Zhang Xing just nodded.
After seeing Wang Wulang off, Zhang Xing turned to the corridor and sat directly next to Xu Shiying.
The cicadas were chirping and the wind was blowing non-stop, but the free ice energy and immortality energy spread freely in the corridor, so I couldn't feel the heat. "Wang Wulang still has you in his heart." Zhang Xing commented. "I was shouting just now.
Kill, but you are afraid that I will really kill you
"I know." Xu Shiying answered, her tone obviously a little depressed.
"You know what the heck?!" Zhang Xing was a little annoyed. "The more you look at this time, the more you can see people's hearts. With so many people coming these days, how many of them really understand you? Your father actually doesn't even care.
Yes! I can finally see that you are a cold-blooded person who cares about interests. If I don’t say it to my face today, you will turn around and pretend not to remember Wang Wulang’s kindness."
Xu Shiying opened her mouth, but hesitated. "What do you want to say?" Zhang Xing asked coldly.
"Brother Zhang." Xu Dalang took a deep breath, let go of the longevity energy that protected his body, and sighed slightly. "What you said is on point. This cold heart is something that has been passed down from this world."
Zhang Xing turned his head and glanced at the other party without saying a word.
"But it was not the world that my father passed down to me, but the world." Xu Shiying continued to speak in a low voice. "How old are you? Do you understand the world so deeply?"
"Third brother, don't look at me like this. I am also studying." "I believe this."
"But when I was a child, I couldn't stand those who were reasonable. I was only interested in reading history books, but the more I read, the more ridiculous I felt, because there were all heroes and heroes in front of me, and they were all supreme dragons and gods. The merits of those people could directly make people
My family became a dragon and became a saint, but since Emperor Bai, the ancestors failed to conquer the east, the dragons and phoenixes were miserable, the inheritances were fighting, the Tang Dynasty was in ruins and the south was crossed, and the chaos from north to south, east and west for hundreds of years, I feel that the next generation in this world is not as good as the last one.
One day is not as good as one day."
"How come each generation is not as good as the last?"
"If you look at the people who have gained power and who wins in the end, you will know that those who have gained power in the past are heroes, and those who have gained power in the future are tyrants. In the past, the virtuous people were on top, and in the future, those who are powerful will win.
Its advantage is that heroes will not end up well, but those who are sinister, cruel and incompetent can live a happy life. So
These seven or eight hundred years of history books, I can see with my eyes that the words between them are full of coldness and immorality!"
"I thought the words in the words were all about cannibalism." "That's pretty much it."
"So, you can barely get enough of it."
"It was because I read it that I felt that being a hero was meaningless. Then as I grew up, people around me told me that you, Xu Da, are a powerful son of the Eastern Region. In the world of Wei, you will never be a general in your life.
If you don’t like it, then I would find it even more boring. It would be more comfortable to be a thief.”
At this point, Zhang Xing unexpectedly stopped the unnecessary conversation.
"Third brother, things are similar today." But Xu Shiying continued, as if he had been calm on the surface these past few days, but inside he was still dizzy from the beating, so much so that he felt sullen in his heart.
Yes, I am convinced by your thirty battalions of soldiers and horses. I am also convinced by your great energy formation and the Jinglong Sword. I am also convinced by this helper who has calmly controlled the north and south of the river. But your principles,
Although I respect it, I don't take it seriously.
"Because the human heart of the past thousand years has been going downwards, and the human heart of hundreds of years has collapsed. Where can you stop it if you want to? It seems that the Tang Dynasty has stopped it, but in the end, the second half has deteriorated faster. The Great Zhou Dynasty
At one time it seemed like it was blocked, but then it immediately fell apart? The Wei Dynasty also seemed to be blocked at the beginning, but now who doesn’t know that there is no worse court than the Wei Dynasty!
"So how can you expect me to believe what you say? Are you still talking about your policy agenda? Are you still aboveboard?"
Zhang Xing still didn't say anything, as if he was persuaded by the other party.
Xu Shiying took a breath and finally calmed down: "Let me put it this way, if you, Third Brother, really want to abandon the gang, become the king of the establishment, kill Li Shu and Zhai Qian, and act like a hero, I will definitely take the lead.
, follow you to the death, even if you are defeated for a while, I will follow you to the north to defeat the Demon Guard, or at worst you will come back, because if you don't have that uprightness, you are just a solid hero who seems to be able to achieve success, and I am willing to bet with you.
But if you are still like this, I can only be cold-blooded. When you are strong, I will lead the way. When you are weak, don't blame me for ignoring you."
After finishing speaking, Xu Dalang seemed to feel that he had lost his temper because of his youth. He started to talk too much and became annoyed. However, he also seemed to feel that it was too much to say anything, so he simply turned away.
, I sat under the corridor with my back against a pillar, then looked sideways at the sky in the courtyard, letting the cicadas chirp in my ears.
Zhang Xing was silent for a long time and never spoke.
But in the end, he still sighed: "Xu Shiying, I could have recited a few books for you today, but I guess you wouldn't understand it, and you would feel annoyed even if you did, so I won't tell you any thorough truth today. I just
Tell me a few facts and you will have to remember them for me whether you believe it or not!"
It was Xu Shiying's turn to remain silent.
"First, things at the time of the Supreme True Dragon were not as good as you thought, and they were in a mess. The character of the four emperors was not as high-end as you thought. It's just that they persisted in the right direction on important matters.
So we can do what they can do, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy, because it’s precisely this point of insisting on the right things, the important things that are the most difficult.”
Zhang Xing spoke in a calm tone, as if he was preparing the words and speaking on the spot.
"Secondly, the past few hundred years have indeed been bad, as bad as they are, but the good things have not stopped. The system, culture, and people's hearts may be at a disadvantage, but they have never stopped, and they are obviously gaining momentum.
"
