Chapter 659 Nangong Family
Overnight, Xiongshui County, a rich small county full of hot springs, has changed all the time.
But most of the people and merchants in Xiongshui County were unaware of it. In the rich New Year atmosphere, they slept in a lazy sleep before getting up slowly. Today, they would like to welcome the Kitchen God who came back to Heaven. Good wine and good food must be missing.
No one was in the mood to think about what the officials and masters in the yamen were doing today. As long as they did not harm the people, they would not care about who was sitting on the high hall.
Shi Zang was very busy. When officials in Xiongshui County heard that Tianxiang Yaju and County Magistrate Zhang were both related to King Ren, they were so scared that they would leak urine.
This is a serious crime of rebellion, and no one can afford it. In order to make meritorious service and whitewash themselves, they tried their best to confess each other's crimes, and they made a mess in the yamen.
Even if a dog bites a dog, Shi Zang has to handle the matter well, but this is not his duty. While handling various affairs, he sent a message to the little prince, asking him to send a capable and reliable official to take over here as soon as possible.
But finally something made him feel relieved when he was busy. Zhuang Rou was really scared away, instead of continuing to stay in Xiongshui County. Without her here, she would have to save much worry.
Shi Zang didn't want simple things, and she made them extremely cumbersome.
Zhuang Rou was quick-moving and spent seven days walking 6 routes out of Jingzhou. At the dock of a small town, he rented a boat and rushed to Laixiang City in Zhangzhou from the waterway.
The boss of the boat was rushing the boat and felt that the girl with a terrible beast must have had a disaster at home. Otherwise, the New Year would be so anxious that she would not stop the boat at night, so she would have to take the boat on her way in rotation.
Although he worked harder, he thought of the wages he paid was worth as much as the boat he had been with for two years and bought a lot of good wine and vegetables along the way. He and the boatmen were happy and worked very hard.
At the 14th hour of the first lunar month, the ship finally arrived at Qingluwu, which is only fifty miles away from Laixiang City. This is a bustling wharf. At this time, there are many gorgeous ships of all sizes. Some of them are too fancy, which makes people unable to help but take a look at them.
The boat that Zhuang Rou rented was not big, and could only accommodate more than a dozen people, but it was also considered as having houses and cabins. At this time, he drove past these big boats, as small as a little beetle.
She looked up at the big ship beside her. The hull was about twenty feet long. There were three-story boat towers on the ship. Not only were the carved beams and painted buildings, the color of the boat towers was particularly bright. There were long colorful yarns hanging at the window, as if they were deliberately placed outside the window, allowing them to float around by flying, making the boat look ethereal.
The boat was filled with flags with the words Nangong written on it. Guards stood with their hands behind their backs every three feet along the boat. The clothes and flags were blown by the wind. Occasionally, beautiful women in palace costumes could be seen walking by the window of the boat building.
"What a big style, Qin Qiu, do you know what Nangong is from?" Zhuang Rou looked up at the big ship. She was so stylish. She even felt embarrassed to use her fancy dress even when she was traveling.
Qin Qiu was originally from the martial arts world, so how could he not know who the owner of the ship was? He still looked careless and said: "This is the Nangong family on Liuli Island, the royal family of the previous dynasty, and naturally the family has a rich background and a big show."
"What? The royal family of the previous dynasty!" Zhuang Rou was shocked and opened her eyes wide to look at him. What kind of person is this? The royal family of the previous dynasty dared to run out like this.
Qin Qiu said unsurprisingly: "It is the royal family of the previous dynasty. It is said that they were beaten to the capital and surrendered voluntarily. Now the emperor's ancestors have great compassion to move to Liuli Island and have been granted the title of Xiaoyao Gong. As long as they do not rebel, they will live and work in peace for generations."
"I heard that when I moved to Liuli Island, I couldn't finish the thirty ships of gold, silver and treasures. Now it has been more than a hundred years, and the money has not been used up. Besides, as long as I do some business, I can only make money."
Qin Qiu took over the Nangong family's business once, but he didn't meet anyone from the Nangong family at that time, but he just got paid after completing the task.
But everyone knows the affairs of the Nangong family and is very famous in the world.
Thinking of this, Qin Qiu glanced at Zhuang Rou and said, "The Nangong family has the status of the royal family of the previous dynasty, has a very high reputation and wealth that can rival the country. They have always donated generously to the people of the world, so there are many friends who depend on them."
"It seems that I don't know which generation of the head of the family, but I created my own martial arts secrets voluntarily offered by my disciples.
His very powerful martial arts gradually became a force in the martial arts world."
Zhuang Rou looked at him with a strange look, "Responsibility? Is this a recruitment of soldiers and horses and want to rebel."
"The surrender of the previous dynasty was so good. King Ren shouldn't have turned around and eliminated this first and then rebelled. Maybe the two of them would join forces, one in the open and the other in the dark, and they were both eyeing this Dahao!" She touched her chin and said thoughtfully.
Qin Qiu said disgustedly: "What are you thinking about random things, but nothing else can cause trouble."
Zhuang Rou raised her head and looked at the huge colorful boat deeply, with a serious expression.
"You are like a cruel official now. You want to crush everything when you see it. I thought being an official was just your little pleasure, but I didn't expect that I really like it." Qin Qiu was a little surprised to see her seriously.
Her current expression was like those treacherous officials who could destroy a huge family in a flash of their fingers. She was thinking about how to turn their hands on other people's corpses, and she turned her hands around.
Zhuang Rou withdrew her gaze and thought for a while and said, "You can't put all the power in the hands of bad people. If you can't see the unfairness in the world, you have to climb higher and take power in your own hands. Only by doing what you want to do, instead of lamenting the injustice of the world and being injustice in the world, you will be mediocre and avoid the world or be decadent."
"That way, nothing will change, and I can't do anything. I like power, I prefer to take advantage of my brother's power and bully others, and do something for the people under control. They just want to have food and clothing, have food every meal, and have new clothes for the New Year."
Qin Qiu listened to her words silently, and then said for a moment: "After saying so much, I still feel that you are not like a honest official who serves the people everywhere, but rather like a domestic and vicious dog, but now you are just looking for wild food."
Zhuang Rou was a little surprised, and then laughed, "I think the emperor is very good now. After eliminating the relatives of the foreign country, I feel that there are too few things to do in the officialdom."
"Those are all done by your brother, right? Anyway, I'm just taking advantage of the bad news to protect you for the little prince. I will leave immediately if I involve those shameful shady battles for power and profits." Qin Qiu reminded with his hand in his arms.
He is not as good as an eagle claw, and he is not used to working hard for these power fighters.
Zhuang Rou looked at him meaningfully and laughed twice, "I still knocked open the stone wall of the dungeon, you didn't put much effort into it."
"Whoever does more work will be the boss, so I have the final say here. I am the boss, you are my follower!" She suddenly pointed at Qin Qiu and said arrogantly.
So childish
Qin Qiu turned his head away and saw that the boat was approaching the dock. The boatman jumped over with the rope and put the rope on the wooden stake. He said, "You came to Laixiang City for the sake of Jile Sect. Just do this. Don't provoke others."
"Hey, are you afraid of those big sects?" Zhuang Rou smiled.
Qin Qiu glanced at her, "It's okay for the younger generation. There are all kinds of old monsters who come to protect them. Even if you are invulnerable to swords and guns, you can smash your internal organs. You have never seen a powerful martial arts master, and you can crush you with one move."
Zhuang Rou squinted her eyes and asked with a smile: "Does the old monster have a large army of the imperial army?"
"It's so boring to talk to you. This is why people in the martial arts world don't like to deal with the government, and I don't even want to." Qin Qiu said disgusted.
