Chapter 17: Old Woman 17

“Old lady, this matter is easy to say, but it’s not easy to do.” As soon as the third master opened his mouth, he said it was very difficult.

After the last experience, he did not shirk this matter, but there was a temptation in his words.

Ning Qiu looked at him with cold eyes, “Young man, I have eaten more salt than you have traveled. It is not a good behavior to show off in front of me.”

“Old lady, what you said is bad, how dare I play a small note in front of you.” The third master picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Ning Qiu, the white mist curled up From now on, the aroma permeates the small compartment, which is very peaceful and peaceful.

He smiled and said respectfully, “Even if you sacrifice your life, I will finish it.”

“It’s just to tie a person, it won’t take your life.” Ning Qiu picked up the teacup and took a sip, “Besides, this matter is not necessarily an opportunity for you, you said right.”

The third master was stunned for a moment, and then sneered, “You have lifted me up, I am a person who helps me run errands and eat, and I am always worried that I will be hungry the next day, where do I need it? what chance.”

“What is your purpose, I don’t care, but what I want you to do, just do it well.” Ning Qiu put down the teacup and landed on the third master’s heart with a bang, he raised his head Looking at Ning Qiu, from those eyes that seemed to see through everything like an abyss, he actually saw his own calculations, so bright and shocking.

The two faced each other silently for a few seconds, or Ning Qiu gave him time to think. The third master resisted unilaterally. In the end, he smiled, bowing his head and making a small compromise.

The third master laughed at himself, “It’s true that people say that people are old and mature. My thoughts are in front of the old lady, just a glance, and there is nowhere to hide.”

He is an outcast. After the old beggar who picked him up by the river when he was five years old died, he drifted with the flow like duckweed, grabbed food with wild dogs, and grabbed with beggars Over the site, as long as it is something that can survive, he will do it with all his might.

, he can have enough confidence to tell himself that he can live well without those people.

Ning Qiu calmly said, “Because I have seen too many people like you.”

“Then what happened to them in the end, they got what they wanted, or they failed miserably.” The third master asked curiously.

Improper.

But the old lady in front of her was too powerful to resist. This is incomprehensible and inexplicable.

“All of them.” Ning Qiu sighed softly, and seemed to be sighing and looking back.

She has commanded the world, and she has also experienced the world.

After hearing this, the third master did not ask any more, because he knew that the old lady had already come to this topic, and there would be no other answer if he continued to ask.

You don’t need to take action, we can do it for you.”

These words are enough to express that he has put the old lady in an equivalent position where he can sit down and discuss, and is showing his favor.

“You want to replace him.” Ning Qiu said, and then she rejected the conclusion, “Or, you wanted to replace him, but now you have other ideas.”

Not handing people over to her is a bargaining chip for negotiating with her, and it is not a threat to the owner of the shop.

This is only done if the purpose is temporarily changed.

The third master smiled, and he suddenly asked, “The owner of the shop is quite friendly to me. Do you think it’s shameful for me to do this?”

Perhaps I saw the old lady getting along with her children, so I subconsciously wondered how his mother would educate him if he also did bad things.

This is an experience he will never have in his life.

Ning Qiu just replied, “It’s good to be worthy of your heart.”

The third master understood the meaning of it, he was a little dangling, and he landed steadily, with a feeling of being recognized.

“Yesterday I went to the yard of the owner of the house, and I wanted to knock people out and take them away. After that, I will follow your wishes, old lady. However, I heard an unexpected happiness.”

Speaking of this, he paused, looked at Ning Qiu, got the next sign, and then continued, “It turns out that the owner of the square is a man under the mayor, and this person’s The mission is to frantically collect money for the mayor. With the mayor’s cover, he will do some wicked things in private. Of course, since ancient times, officials and businessmen have been protecting each other. What’s unexpected is that the mayor is actually connected with the Khitan people. And from eavesdropping on their conversations, we can know that we have increased the grain harvest in the past two years, not all of them are handed over to the treasury, but the remaining part has been sold to the Khitan people at a high price.”

The Khitan people have grown rapidly in recent years. The Sheng Dynasty has suffered defeats for two years, and the country has been invaded.

And this area is not far from the battle between the two armies. In the event of a war, the first place for the army to store grain is here. Therefore, as the mayor, it is very important to take care of the granary.

I heard that they are preparing to start a war recently. In other places, they have begun to vigorously recruit troops for food. At this juncture, the mayor has close ties with the Khitan people, and there is even a food transaction. It has to be thought-provoking.

“This is very interesting.” Ning Qiu expressed great interest in this unexpected news, “Is this mayor a Khitan?”

It is very common to insert dark lines. If the mayor is really a Khitan, then it has to be said that his concealment skills are excellent. Without the background of living in the Sheng Dynasty for decades, he cannot be the mayor.

Fangzhu, judging from the movement of his sideways drinking water, he is definitely a Khitan.”

Last night, on the way out with Fangzhu tied up, he passed a river, and when he squatted down to drink water, he realized the difference.

Ning Qiu was silent for a few seconds, she frowned and asked, “Now Huaiguan, but a battle has been launched.”

Huaiguan is the last defensive line of Huaiguan City. Once a battle is launched, Sanwan Village is near the battle between the two armies, and it will definitely be affected.

Sanwan Village was almost wiped out a few decades ago, but it was also because the enemy entered the village to burn, kill and loot. But at that time, it was not the Khitan, but a feudal prince who built his own army and wanted to rebel.

The third master shook his head, “I learned from the news from my subordinates that it has not been officially opened, but it has fallen into a stalemate and is about to explode.”

fast.

The third master said it very seriously, but Ning Qiu’s face was calm, and he said lightly, “These issues are things that the emperor should take care of, we ordinary people just think about how to live, that’s fine. .”

“…” The third master didn’t know what to say for a while, it seemed that the emperor was not in a hurry for the eunuch.

However, he looked at Ning Qiu deeply and said solemnly: “That’s what I said, but I still want to uncover the mayor’s behavior and pull him down.”

A bit of a last conscience.

“I didn’t expect you to have a sense of justice.” Ning Qiu said in surprise.

She thought that the third master’s purpose was to get the greatest benefit from her, but she didn’t expect it was just a simple act of help.

The third master shrugged, “No way, who makes me dislike this kind of traitorous behavior.”

The words finished, he frowned again, “But the emperor is far away, here, the mayor is the emperor of the earth, and he has been rooted for ten or twenty years, if he wants to stumble on the bright side , it won’t work at all. So I want to invite you, come with me.”

He also thought about it and thought about many ways, but none of them could be done. People and officials fight, no matter how they fight, they will suffer.

And the old lady’s methods are very strange. With her help, she has a better chance of winning.

Ning Qiu said slowly, “There are many ways to solve the problem, but for the strong, only one is the easiest.”

The third master asked curiously, “What can I do?”

“I followed the mayor back to the house last night, I thought about getting rid of this moth, but I found that he was protected by someone, and he was not weak, so he couldn’t do it at all. “The third master frowned, he was almost discovered last night.

And the other party still appeared quietly, which is enough to show that the person who secretly protects the mayor is very powerful.

“That’s because you are too weak.” Ning Qiu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and the words he spat out made the third master’s eyebrows jump, but he couldn’t refute it.

He has never learned kung fu, but he has been fighting for more than ten years.

However, the person I met last night was very strong. Compared with his three-legged cat kung fu, it was a day and a day. It was lucky to be able to escape.

And the main thing is that the other party doesn’t really want to kill him, just to drive away and shock him.

“Let’s go.” Ning Qiu suddenly got up and walked outside.

The third master followed closely, “Didn’t you say that you won’t intervene.”

“My eldest grandson is going to take the township examination next year, and I still think that he will be the youngest scholar to go home and honor his ancestors.” Ning Qiu said lightly without stopping.

The third master knew it, but he also wanted to laugh.

This old lady’s behavior is really erratic and quite arrogant.
