"Although it is a destiny, it is also a test. I hope I will live up to the expectations of the county magistrate!"
Xiao He smiled brightly.
Previously, he was just an official serving the magistrate of Pei County, but by chance, he reported government affairs to Mr. Fusu.
Unexpectedly, the young master asked a few more questions.
Therefore, he is often called upon.
The county magistrate was also lucky in his words. Xiao He did not dare to be negligent and should be cautious in everything he did.
In this way, until now, Mr. Fusu gradually valued him.
Mr. Fusu is the eldest son of His Majesty the First Emperor, and... one can gain something by staying with him. He is talented in civil and military studies and is very good.
Being by Mr. Fusu's side is a great asset for promotion.
"Brother Xiao, everything will go well!"
Cao Shen said with admiration.
I have made progress in recent years, and I am about to take over the position of prison warden. In a few years, I can get a glimpse of the core personnel of Pei County.
However, compared with Brother Xiao.
Quite a difference.
"Uncle Jing!"
"Your Majesty's intention to seek talents is evident. I know your talent. When I have the opportunity, I will recommend you to your Majesty. I think you will be rewarded."
As Xiao He spoke, he found a seat in the hall and sat down. He had a lot of interrogation documents in his hand, and Uncle Jing happened to be around, so he could help sort them out.
"If so, thank you!"
Cao Shen was overjoyed and immediately bowed deeply.
I still know what Brother Xiao is like. Since I put it this way, it must be an opportunity for me. Who doesn’t want to take the next step as an official?
How to go further?
Your own abilities are naturally important, but what is even more important is opportunity!
"However, now we still have to do what the Lord Commander has told us to do."
"Those people in prison are very complicated!"
After looking at Cao Shen again, Xiao He began to read the documents at a very fast pace.
"I also know a little about those people!"
Cao Shen spoke softly, and seeing Brother Xiao acting like this, he nodded, not bothering him, and walked to a distance to get some tea for his own use.

"Is the Zhu Family Hall Master so carefree?"
"When the Shennong Order appeared in Pengcheng, Xiapi and other places, could it be that the Shennong Hall had no intention of competing for it?"
"I know that the Shennong Order is the most precious treasure of the farm family. The person who holds it can command the power of the six halls of the farm. Isn't the hall master worried that Tian Hu will snatch the Shennong Order?"
"After obtaining the Shennong Order, we might as well get the whereabouts of Xia Kui. In the current situation of the farm, if Xia Kui appears, we can work together!"
Zhuyi!
A slightly larger city in Surabaya.
Speaking of large, relatively speaking, it was originally a small city with a radius of three miles. Due to various reasons, the city outline was widened to more than four miles in radius.
The entire area south of Sishui County is considered a big city.
There are many mountains and hills in the countryside. Although they are not towering, they are constantly undulating. The spring is bright, everything is flourishing and upgrading, and it is full of green.
Deep in the water, villages gather, with bamboo huts and thatched cottages, creating a peaceful atmosphere.
At that time, not long after the sun had risen, the scorching sun had not yet bloomed. Words came from a wooden platform by the water, where several people were fishing leisurely.
"Shennong Order!"
"If it is the real Shennong Order, Shennong Hall will naturally have to fight for it. Unfortunately, it is a fake Shennong Order!"
Hearing the words of the Mohist giant, the masks on the faces of the Shennongtang Zhu family couldn't help but reveal a different smile, and they were in a very cheerful mood.
Shennong Order!
What’s the value of a fake one?
Shennongtang doesn’t need to take action!
Sitting on the edge of the wooden platform, holding a not-so-fine fishing rod in his hand, the fishing line enters the water, the float floats, and his height, which is not obvious at all, looks... quite funny from a distance.
Observe the calmness of the water and don't be anxious.
Fishing requires patience. How to catch fish if you don’t have patience?
"Doesn't the hall master know some secrets?"
Wrapped in black clothes and covered by a cloak, Ji Shui, a giant of the Mohist family, spoke. The fishing rod in his hand trembled slightly. Immediately, the fishing line was pulled up, and a foot-long fish appeared at the end.
good!
Not too small.
I skillfully dropped it into the fish basket, and the bait was not affected at all. I simply handled it and put the fishing line into the water again.
Zhu Jiazhi, that Shennong Order is not real?
If it was fake, why would Chiyoutang Tianhu fight so hard for it? It would also cause a lot of trouble, and the Sishui County government had to mobilize manpower.
"secret?"
"No secrets!"
"The Order of Shennong has always been in the hands of the hero."
"Xia Kui has disappeared for several years, and there is no trace of him. Even if he is not dead, he is now in a different kind of crisis."
"If that's the case, how could the Shennong Order on Xia Kui appear like this?"
"Brother Tianmeng of Lieshan Hall died before. The purpose of those people should be to separate the six halls from within. Even if the Shennong Order appears, it will only appear in the farmhouse."
"Like in my hands, like in Tian Hu's hands, only in this way will it have the greatest value."
"Leaving it to farmers and disciples to fight for it can easily lead to chaos in Surabaya. Some people cannot afford this price."
"So, that Shennong Order is not only fake."
"I think...it was not released by the power of the Qin State. It should be another force that wanted to use the Shennong Order to attract the power of the Qin State to suppress the farmers."
“Enemies of farmers?
"For hundreds of years, farmers have had no shortage of enemies!"
The mask on Zhu Jia's face was still not full of smiles. Watching Juzi catch a fish, his float seemed to move, and then he lifted it up.
But... nothing.
He smiled and fell into the water again.
"Shennong Order!"
“The water in Surabaya County is getting muddier!”
“I don’t know what some people want to do!”
Then there is the preface, followed by another profound statement.
"Farmers are facing quite a lot of trouble."
"I hope you can survive this. If you can use the Mohist family's land, please let me know. Over the past few days, the Mohist family has regained some strength!"
"After today, Commander Gao and I will leave this place."
The current situation of Sishui County has been seen by the giant Jishui, and he can also get a glimpse of many things, such as the death of Master Tian Meng Hall, which is very strange.
murderer!
Guigu Weizhuang!
The Master of the Frightened Salamander Sword!
The head of the Zhu family hall also told them some things.
In the past, the Qin State had left many behind in the Mohist family, and as a peasant family with stronger strength and wider disciples, it was certainly no exception.
The attack on farmers has already begun.
Not for the sake of stability in Surabaya, farmers have been wiped out.
Even so, it was indeed a very dangerous situation for the Qin State to be besieged by many forces. In this regard, the Mohists had more than enough ambition but not enough power.
A small favor...no problem.
Want to be strong?
It's very difficult.
"The earth nourishes all things, and Shen Nong will never die."
"Farmers will definitely be able to survive this."
"You have to leave here, and it's time for me to leave here too."
"It's time to do what a friend told me back then."
"The life and death talismans on Commander Gao's body have not been removed yet. Is there any serious consequences if he leaves? Where is Mr. Xiaoyao?"
The Zhu family is very optimistic about the future of the farm family.
As long as there is one disciple left in the farm family, it will not perish, not to mention that there will be countermeasures at the Liuxian Tomb. The reason why the farm family's six halls are worried is nothing more than they, the so-called heads of the farm family.
Leaderless!
The natural power of the peasant family is weak, and coupled with the many strategies implemented by the Qin State, the peasant family will only become weaker and even disappear.
The core disciples of the Sixth Hall, as well as the head of the hall, are all on the Qin State's arrest and kill list.
The fishing rod adjusted the position of the fishing line, glanced at the giant Jishui beside him, then turned his head and landed on a swordsman in white behind the wooden platform.
The aura on his body fluctuated a bit and was not stable. Today, the earth was warm, but his body was exuding a slight coldness, and there was even a sharp sword aura looming.
However, the sword energy is very sharp!
"The Talisman of Life and Death?"
"It's difficult!"
"Mr. Xiaoyao said that we have to wait for his cultivation to advance further before we can eliminate the power of the life and death talisman in our bodies."
"Fortunately, although it cannot be completely eliminated for the time being, there are still many benefits. The Talisman of Life and Death activates the yin and yang qi in the body, and the universe interacts with each other. The whole body practice will benefit a lot."
"Shuihan Sword is more profound."
"Mr. Xiaoyao will leave soon. He wants to find a place in Qilu with his disciples to establish a legacy."
After speaking calmly, Gao Jianli shook his head.
The life and death talisman that Mo Ya left in his body has not yet melted away, and it still has residual power. It is very stubborn. Unless Mr. Xiaoyao has Taoist treasures in his hands, it will be difficult to suppress the life and death talisman.
There will be an attack every two or three months. The two qi of yin and yang are in chaos, the internal organs are trembling, and the pain is unbearable, which is very unusual.
Without Mr. Xiaoyao, there are hundreds of schools of thought, and I am afraid that no one can easily get rid of him for the time being, not even the wild old man from the farm.
Mo Ya and the other three have extraordinary strength, and I don’t know how Xuan Qingzi taught them. With their strength improving so much, if someone else is hit by the talisman of life and death next, they will only become more difficult to deal with.
Fortunately, I have gradually become accustomed to the onset of the Life and Death Talisman, and I even hope that the Life and Death Talisman can stay in my body for a while longer.
With the life and death talisman inside, the operation of mystical skills in the body has accelerated much faster. The inner strength of the body has been tempered by the power of the life and death talisman to reverse chaos. The state of transformation into gods has long been stable, and the Shuihan sword is even more domineering.
Sure enough, when the machine city was broken open, he had such strength, so he should..., but it seemed that he couldn't do much.
The power of Qin is too strong now.
As Juzi said, I hope the farmers can survive.
"Haha, this is what Taoism calls yin and yang blessings and misfortunes."
"Mr. Xiaoyao has made extraordinary progress in his cultivation. Sooner or later, the talisman of life and death will be completely dissolved, and the high commander will be able to return to a free body."
"Recently, a disciple of Shennong Hall reported that Mo Crow and three others appeared in Surabaya. Fortunately... their target is not a farmer."
Feeling the trembling of the fishing line float in his hand, ripples appeared on the water surface. Zhu's face became even more joyful, and the fishing rod was raised with soft force.
Unfortunately, there was nothing above the fishhook. He shook his head and fell into the water again.
There is no point in being anxious. As long as you are willing and wait slowly, the fish will take the bait.
The whereabouts of the three Mo Crows under the command of Wuzhen Commandery Marquis Xuan Qingzi are not secret. Farmers can easily trace them, but they are extremely difficult to provoke.
The name of the Life and Death Talisman has been spread among hundreds of schools of thought. If you get the Life and Death Talisman, you will be worse than life and death. If Mr. Xiaoyao cultivates diligently, he will be able to easily transform into the Life and Death Talisman in the future, which will be a blessing to all schools of thought.
"Their target is Nangong. For many years, Mo Ya and the other three have been chasing Nangong on Xuan Qingzi's orders."
The fishing rod in the Mohist giant's hand was also lifted with gentle force.
moment.
The fishing line was stretched straight, and on the hook at the end, a foot-long fish appeared again, which was bigger than the one just now.
Seeing this, he put it into the fish basket again.
"Hahaha, good luck to you."
Praise to the Zhu family.
My luck today is not very good. Fortunately, brother Liu Ji is in Pei County at the moment, otherwise, he would definitely have to force me to gamble.
That would be even more depressing.
"luck!"
"If such luck had appeared a few years ago, everything would have been different."
"Master Zhu Family, has there been no unified response strategy within the farmhouse?"
The giant Jishui was not happy when he spoke, and even sighed in a different way.
luck!
Some things really depend on luck.
Back then, if Han Shen had gained something in Xianyang Palace and killed Ying Zheng with one sword, then nothing would have happened later.
All countries can live in peace and harmony, and so can hundreds of families.
Among hundreds of schools of thought, the Mohist school has struggled to become a major force, but the peasant family is different. The peasant family has six halls and hundreds of thousands of disciples. It can indeed survive, which is an excellent result.
"The hero is not showing off!"
"Six halls compete!"
"Over there at the Six Tombs... if it's a matter of life and death, there will usually be no movement. The previous documents only stated a simple response."
"Does the giant have some advice?"
The mask of joy suddenly turned into a sad look.
I also want the farm family to cope with the current crisis in a unified manner, but...it is difficult to support a single tree, and Shennongtang cannot represent the entire farm family.
The Zhu family lowered their heads sadly, and suddenly looked at the giant Jishui.
He is an extraordinary person and should have a better way to deal with it.
"This is a matter for the peasant family. With the plan of the Zhu Family Hall Master, he already had a countermeasure."
The giant Jishui refused to respond.
"The great man is too modest."
"As for the countermeasures, I haven't decided yet."
"But a piece of news came from Peixian County yesterday, which made me think there is something I can try."
As he breathed, the Zhu family's sad face turned into a bright smile.
"oh?"
"What's the news?"
The giant Jishui was startled, and his cloak turned slightly towards the Zhu family.
"Due to the Shennong Order, soldiers from Sishui prefectures and counties arrested some people, including many farm disciples."
"Those peasant disciples were successively escorted to Peixian County. Some...were convicted and executed, while others...were released."
"Also released were some disciples from Shennong Hall a few months ago."
"The great man has been in Sishui County for several months. How do you judge His Majesty the First Emperor, Mr. Fusu?"
Zhu Jia smiled.
"Master Fusu!"
"He..., could it be that Zhu Jiatang mainly devoted himself to this young master?"
The giant Jishui fell into a shallow silence.
Some words are spoken, but the meaning behind them is self-evident.
"Invested?"
"These two words are not very good. It would be better to change them to two words."
"I think - cooperation is more appropriate!"
Zhu Jia said briefly.
Hearing the meaning of the giant, it seemed that he was a little bit shy, but... he could understand it.
However...the affairs of the peasant family are not, after all, a matter of the Mohist family, nor are they matters of the distant past.
"cooperate?"
"The six halls of the farmhouse can be entered and exited in one go. With the Zhu family's hallmaster making such a decision, what about the other five halls?"
Gao Jianli's eyebrows were slightly cold, and he looked at the Zhu family hall master and asked about another topic.
cooperate?
Farmers surrendered to Qin?
Surrender to Mr. Fusu?
Why would the Zhu Family Hall Master make such a decision? The other five halls may not agree with it.
I... also feel bad.
"Haha, cooperation is nothing more than a trial, not a true forge."
"As for Mr. Fusu, I have been collecting information about him in recent years. His temperament is not violent, and his conduct is orderly."
"He's a very nice person."
"Coupled with the entrustment from an old friend back then, I am ready to give it a try!"
"Mo Family!"
"Didn't Master Lu Zhenlang tell you something, some... life-or-death decision?"
"Well, I took the bait, good!"
"After missing it several times, one finally came, and it was a big fish!"
The Zhu family held the fishing rod in both hands and looked at the water surface with their eyes quietly. The words continued to flow out of their mouths, and their laughter was gentle. As they spoke, the soft power in their hands started to work again.
The fishing line finally became straight, and there was a living thing jumping around on the hook at the end.
A fish that's a foot and a half long.
Suddenly, the smiles on the Zhu family's faces widened.
