surnamed Wang

Wang Gingquan asked Zhao Hu some trivial matters in the courtyard, and he knew that the North Turkistan army had just withdrawn not long ago, and it was estimated that they had not gone a hundred miles yet.

"General Zhao Hu, those two shopkeepers are the owners of the tailor shop and the money shop in the city respectively, and they came to give you gifts together this time." Wang Gingquan said, looking in the direction of the side hall.

In front of the other party, Zhao Hu dared not accept any filial money, and said quickly:

"Don't worry, my lord, I'll let him go back now."

Unexpectedly, Wang Gangquan shook his head, stroked his chin and said:

"Not only do you want to accept this gift, but you also need to accept it. Beitu has been in charge of the [-] states for so many years. Those garrison officers are all mercenary and squeeze the local people as much as possible. Those who can make a fortune under such circumstances, he Can the ass be clean?"

"My lord is right, but it's against His Majesty's will..." Zhao Hu suddenly found himself in trouble.

Before coming here, Emperor Shun specially instructed not to disturb the local people. Besides, the imperial court has strictly investigated corruption in recent years. It is rare for Lian Li, the chief assistant of the court, and Yan Jun, the Minister of the Ministry of War, to have the same attitude on this matter. Many old loach are here Years were picked out one after another.

Knowing the other party's concerns, Wang Gangquan said calmly:

"Let me tell you, Your Majesty, you are only in charge of going through the motions, and the money will go into the national treasury after a circle in your hands.

Aren't you worried about the huge cost along the northern route, just use their money to fill the holes.When North Turkistan was stationed, these guys must have provided them with military expenses, and now they are just transferring the money to the dynasty.

Once the emperor and the courtiers, it is already considered polite for us not to directly raid the house, and you don't have to worry about their uncooperativeness. In terms of weighing the pros and cons, none of the three religions can compare with businessmen. "

"So, everything is under the arrangement of the prince."

……

In the side hall, the two shopkeepers were almost waiting for the cold, and were about to move their numb buttocks when they saw the man who claimed to be surnamed Zhao and the garrison commander come in talking and laughing.

Seeing the stiff smiles of the two bosses, Wang Gingquan pretended to pat his head suddenly and said:
"Look at my brain, I just got into a conversation with General Zhao, and I left you guys aside, please forgive me."

The two hurriedly got up and returned the salute: "It's not in the way, it's not in the way."

Wang Gangquan is also a person of "Linglong", so he introduced it to Zhao Hu through his acquaintance:
"General Zhao, these two are Shopkeeper Ma and Boss Sai. After hearing about your deeds, I admire you and want to make friends with you. We know that General Zhao is an upright person who loves the people like a son, and you will never take money, but the two The boss also came to the door sincerely, can you make an exception for my brother's face?"

As Wang Gingquan said, he winked at the two people at the side, and both of them were clever, and quickly stepped forward to put the brocade box on the table, opened it slowly, and saw more than a dozen ingots of gold in the box.Not to mention Zhao Hu, even Wang Bingquan couldn't help staring and couldn't look away.

……

Seeing the other party's reaction, shopkeeper Sai's uneasy mood finally relaxed, and said in a low voice:

"This is a wish from all the merchants in Ruzhou City, and I hope the general will accept it with a smile."

Wang Gangquan came back to his senses at this moment, kicked Zhao Hu quietly, and said with a smile:

"The two bosses are too polite, General Zhao, look..."

Zhao Hu, who was kicked, immediately understood, and said coldly:

"You don't get rewarded for nothing. I still have important things to do. Please help yourself."

After all, he left the side hall without looking back.

……

The two people, who were originally full of confidence, looked at Zhao Hu who was going away, and they were a little confused. They wondered why these high-ranking people turned their faces faster than turning the book.

At this moment Wang Gangquan frowned and said:

"Brother, let me be fair, if these are the wishes of the two individuals, it is undoubtedly a great gift, but if it is the intention of all the merchants in Ruzhou, it would be too petty.

Those who can sit in the position of General Zhao have good vision and vision. To put it bluntly, he knows exactly what you have in your heart.

Even if the two of you don't take anything today, with General Zhao as a person, you must be entertained with good tea, and you won't deliberately find faults when you leave this gate, but since it is out of friendship, you must show the corresponding sincerity. From the perspective of a second-rank martial artist, what is the difference between these things and swearing?
Zhao has to advise the two of you here, since you want to continue to gain benefits in Ruzhou City in the future, then stop doing such humiliating things. If you offend General Zhao, if you fail to keep it, you will end up like those merchants in Chongzhou Same. "

The shopkeeper and shopkeeper Sai turned red and then pale when they heard it, and when they saw Wang Gangquan stopped, they asked cautiously:

"Mr. Zhao, forgive me for waiting for the news to be blocked. Dare I ask what happened in Chongzhou that you mentioned just now?"

"It's okay not to mention that."

Wang Gangquan was just talking nonsense just now, he himself didn't know where Chongzhou was at all, besides, there was no need to talk about this kind of thing, the other two could scare themselves to death just thinking about it on their own.

……

Shopkeeper Sai, as the representative of the Confucian state merchants, has a first-rate ability to adapt to the situation, nodded hurriedly and said:

"Mr. Zhao, it's because I'm being narrow-minded. I'd like to trouble you to say something nice about this matter. Give us another chance, and we'll definitely come back with enough sincerity next time."

As he spoke, he handed over a heavy gold ingot, Wang Gangquan took the ingot and stuffed it into his arms calmly, nodded and said:
"I'll go and explain to the general. Although you two can relax, please allow Zhao to talk too much. The sages have said that they don't worry about inequality. Your sincerity to General Zhao cannot be less than that of Beitu. "

"That's nature, that's nature."

Shopkeeper Sai nodded and bowed again and again, but Boss Ma beside him looked normal and made an ordinary salute.

……

After sending the two away, Wang Bingquan looked at Zhao Hu who had just entered the room with a smile on his face. The latter had a helpless face and said with a wry smile:
"I am afraid that the infamy of corruption and perversion of the law will not be erased."

Wang Quanquan smiled and said:

"General Zhao's character, others don't need to know, I just need to know with His Majesty. Oh, by the way, if the general has time, can you go to the border with me?"

The North Turkistan army had just finished repairing and was about to set off. Suddenly, a loud laugh sounded from the northern sky. The laughter sounded very hearty at first, but it made people's hearts beat wildly. Everyone was puzzled. Only Pu asked Pressed his right hand on the handle of the knife.

Not long after, a gray cloud in the sky appeared in everyone's sight. The cloud moved extremely fast without wind, and there were two vague black shadows on the back of the cloud.

It's hard to believe, but looking at the shape, it seems that there are two people standing.

This miraculous scene immediately attracted everyone's attention. Even Battelle and Dolan couldn't help but raised their heads in shock. Dudu Puwen frowned, his expression was more serious than before, as if facing an enemy look like.

The gray cloud quickly came to the top of the crowd and stopped for an instant. When everyone looked closely, they realized that there were really an old man and a young man standing on the cloud layer.

The old man was dressed in a snow-white Taoist robe, with white hair and a childlike face, and a beard hanging down to his chest. The young woman was dressed in a light red dress in the style of the Central Plains.

……

"Apprentice, how about the skill of driving clouds as a teacher?" The old man stroked his beard and smiled, with a little complacency in his words.

The woman didn't seem to buy it, she frowned slightly and said, "The speed is fast enough, but the wind is too strong."

"Hahaha, my teacher told you a long time ago that as long as you practice your own mental methods, your body will naturally be strong, and you will not be afraid of the cold winter and heat from now on."

"That method is smelly and long, so I don't want to learn it."

"Teacher, how can there be a supernatural power in this world that can be cultivated without suffering?"

The two of them were chatting as if no one was around, and they never looked at the 30 army below. At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded from below:
"Who are you two, and what is your business here?"
