Good morning Daming

Chapter 982: Three times the limit, Benbo is not available

The most prosperous areas in every city are mostly near the market.

With the market as the center, there are many shops around it.

After some investigation, Jiang Qingzhi decided to hold the Oiran Contest opposite the downtown area.

Chen Lian was very efficient. On the fourth day after Jiang Qingzhi decided to hold the Oiran Contest, a platform was built diagonally opposite the market.

Chen Lian went to ask Jiang Qingzhi in person.

"All right?"

"Yes."

This person is indeed capable... Jiang Qingzhi praised: "He is indeed a capable person."

Chen Lian smiled and said, "My superior also said this at the beginning. I was ecstatic at that time and felt that promotion was just around the corner."

“Who would have thought that there would be no news after that?” Xu Wei said, “It costs nothing to praise someone, it is a benefit without cost.”

Chen Lian smiled and said, "That's right."

Jiang Qingzhi then went to the prostitutes' residence.

In the residence, dozens of female prostitutes were rehearsing in their rooms, and the sound of humming and moaning could be heard everywhere.

Only Ning Yu and Xiang Ying were rehearsing the stage play arranged by Jiang Qingzhi.

There are more than ten supporting characters, most of whom are soldiers accompanying Jiang Qingzhi.

At this moment, a family is starving and cold, with nowhere else to go, and goes to the local gentry's house to beg for help.

Ning Yu dressed up as a woman, playing the role of a gentleman. She made a gesture of opening the door, looked at the person outside, frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Please be kind!" Xiang Ying actually didn't want to play the role of a poor person, but she still looked charming in her disguise, and she didn't look like a man. Ning Yu was suitable for this role, and she looked quite heroic.

Xiang Ying lowered her eyes, "My family has been out of food for several days..."

"and many more."

Someone called a halt, and everyone looked and saw that it was Jiang Qingzhi.

"Master." Nan Mei stepped forward and said, "This stage play is indeed wonderful. Every time I watch it, I burst into tears. How wonderful it would be if the whole world was like this?"

"Art comes from life." Jiang Qingzhi said something that the young intellectuals of later generations liked, "Xiang Ying's previous performance was too much. Think about it yourself, what would be the mentality of a woman who went begging with her children?"

Xiang Ying was dissatisfied, "Shouldn't it be pitiful?"

"It's pitiful that you see it from a third-party perspective, but you forgot that you are the person involved." Jiang Qingzhi said, "How would a woman who has been without food for several days behave? Like an ant!"

"Ants?"

"Have you heard of cannibalism?" Jiang Qingzhi held a cigarette in his mouth. "What can people do under extreme circumstances? Qiao Lian and her children are about to starve to death. What's the point of her doing this? The only instinct at this moment is to survive...

Don't talk about pity. Have you ever seen an animal? What is instinct? At this moment, as long as someone gives her something to eat, Qiao Lian is willing to do anything. For whom? "

Jiang Qingzhi pointed at a few extras and said, "For the sake of her children, think about it yourself. If you had several children who were about to starve to death, what would you do?"

But I don’t have any children!

Xiang Ying pondered.

"Is there anything you like?" Jiang Qingzhi asked.

"Cat." Xiang Ying said.

"Meow!" At this time, a cat meowed under the eaves, and Jiang Qingzhi laughed when he saw it.

Isn't this a big orange?
"Everyone in Qinhuai River knows that my wife loves cats like her life." said the maid.

"You don't have any children, so you can use a fake one!" Jiang Qingzhi induced, "You can treat those children as your beloved pets. If your beloved pets are about to starve to death and someone has food in their hands, what will you do?"

"Please! As long as he can save Huahua, I will do anything..." Xiang Ying felt heartbroken just thinking about it.

"Look, you're getting the feeling, aren't you?" Jiang Qingzhi pointed at her and said with a smile, "Just act like this."

Ning Yu also had a great insight and said, "Is this what substitution is?"

"Smart." Jiang Qingzhi nodded. "If you want to interpret it realistically, you have to put yourself in that situation and then have the corresponding emotions and desires..."

"It's so real!" Ning Yu whispered, "It's different from the drama at the moment!"

The drama performance at this moment does not pursue realism. Although it looks magnificent, Ning Yu compares it carefully and feels that Jiang Qingzhi's stage play has a unique flavor.

"This is... a new path, unique!" Ning Yu looked at Jiang Qingzhi, thinking that drama has developed for many years, and this is the current situation. This powerful official casually opened a new path.

Ning Yu, don't underestimate this person!

Ning Yu thought about the recent difficulties in missionary work.

According to feedback from people below, after Xu Fan backed down, the pace of missionary work in Songjiang Prefecture slowed down, and some of those who had previously converted to the religion also changed their minds.

After Huang Lin bowed his head and claimed to be a lackey of Jiang, it became more difficult to preach. The day before yesterday, someone even shouted that the White Lotus Sect was a demon. Fortunately, the disciple ran away quickly, otherwise he would have been caught red-handed.

All of this was brought about by the person in front of me.

I can kill him just by reaching out my hand!
This idea suddenly popped up in Ning Yu's mind... Do it! Kill this dog official, the dog emperor will be heartbroken, and then he will be furious and purge Songjiang Prefecture. In this way, the south will be in chaos, and the Holy Church will have a chance to expand.

"What are you thinking about?" Jiang Qingzhi asked when he saw her in a daze.

"I'm not thinking about anything..." Ning Yu saw that he smiled gently, and for some reason, her heart skipped a few beats. "I'm just thinking about what Master Bo said just now."

"It's just fun." Jiang Qingzhi didn't know that he had become a demon in Ning Yu's heart.

"Yes." Ning Yu responded subconsciously, secretly cursing herself for not being cruel enough.

But she immediately excused herself... If I kill Jiang Qingzhi, given how much the dog emperor values ​​him, he will definitely search the whole world to hunt me down. He will also do his best to strangle my Holy Church...

Yes, you can’t kill!

What humans are best at is self-deception.

Life is too difficult, and those who do not deceive themselves either become madmen or philosophers. Jiang Qingzhi is neither a madman nor a philosopher.

So, when he learned that Xu Fan was playing dead, he couldn't help but get angry.

"I'm giving face to Xu Jie by starting with Huang. Does that young master really think I'm afraid of Xu?"

His face turned cold, and Chen Lian couldn't help but tremble in his heart, "I sent someone to Xu's house. The steward was very polite and said that Xu Fan had caught a cold and is now bedridden."

"Many people in the capital have used this trick." Xu Wei sighed, "The Ministry of Revenue has come up with a method for this, called "three times the limit."

"But this is..." Chen Lian wanted to say that this was Xu's family, but Xu Wei said calmly, "You are a great Mohist scholar. What does it have to do with you, the Confucianists?"

Yes!

Chen Lian slapped his forehead and said, "I never thought of this. I was always worried that the Lord would take action against the Xu family and it would arouse the anger of the scholars. But I forgot that the Lord was regarded as a mortal enemy by the scholars."

"I don't worry about too much debt, and I don't worry about too many lice." Jiang Qingzhi took a puff of medicinal smoke, "I'll save my face for Xu Jie. From now on...just do business!"

"Yes."

Xu Wei accompanied him out and said, "Xu Fan pretending to be sick is a gesture of submission. What is he hoping for?"

Chen Lian nodded, "Xu Fan hoped that the Lord would spare the Xu family for the sake of Lord Xu's face. What a man! He is blinded by greed! He didn't even think about the fact that Yan Song and his son would have to be reported, Lord Xu..."

"What's that?" Xu Wei raised his eyebrows and said what Chen Lian didn't say.

"That's right!" Chen Lian said with a smile, "Even Lord Lian's brother has declared it, so does Xu have more face?"

At the beginning, Jiang Qingzhi first took action against Yan Song and the old playboy, and he is still exerting influence until now.

Chen Lian returned to the government office, called his confidant, and told him, "Go to the Xu family in person and tell them about the declaration."

The confidant smiled bitterly, "Your Excellency, the eldest son didn't show up, and the steward of the Xu family said that they couldn't make a decision. The steward was very polite, and the tea and snacks were all top-notch. He looked like someone who wouldn't fight back or say anything back. I don't know where to start!"

"Remember, three times is the limit!" Chen Lianshou.

The confidant was startled, "This..."

"Do it!"

"Yes."

The confidant took a few minor officials to Xu's house.

The steward was very polite. He asked someone to bring good tea and snacks, and sighed: "The doctor said that the eldest son's illness is very severe, so he can only rest at home. Otherwise, when the eldest son's condition eases, we can go to the government office..."

When the eldest son recovered, he went to the government office to report in person.

Is this gesture enough?

The confidant was secretly angry.

Damn it!

If Xu couldn't do anything, how could the people from the Ministry of Revenue and the government office go to other places to urge them?
——Hey! If you have the ability, just deal with the Xu family first. Don't be afraid to touch the powerful and use us ordinary people as a target.

Without your credibility, who will listen to you?

Therefore, the Xu family is the biggest obstacle at the moment.

The confidant used to represent Chen Lian and had dealings with the Xu family. The steward waved his hand and someone brought a wooden box. The steward took it and handed it to the confidant, "You've had a hard time on the way. Bring some snacks for the journey."

The confidant knew what was inside. He hesitated for a moment, then thought of what Chen Lian had said unintentionally.

——Whoever underestimates the Lord's decisiveness will be in trouble. Xu is no exception.

The confidant thought of the great scholar Wang Qing in the capital. That scholar was famous all over the world, but he was uprooted by Jiang Qingzhi in one day. He committed suicide in prison and his family members were either exiled or banished.

Xu... Can that elder really make Lord Chang Wei afraid?
The confidant thinks it’s impossible!

That person was a great figure of the Mohist school, and Xu Jie was the leader of the Confucian school. The two were natural enemies.

Given a chance to kill the enemy, would Long Wilbur stop?

This time Jiang Qingzhi seemed to save face for Xu by attacking Huang first. But his confidants felt that Jiang Qingzhi was good at using troops, and this might just make the enemy proud.

Show weakness first, so that Xu will think that you are afraid of Xu Jie.

In this way, Xu Fan was lucky enough to think that he could escape the disaster by pretending to be sick.

Then the rule of three times over was applied, Jiang Qingzhi had done his best! He had no choice but to take action.

What the hell!
This is like inviting someone into a trap!
What a great military genius is Chief Weber!
My eyes are indeed as sharp as lightning... My confidant was terrified, thinking that if he took the box, he would definitely be implicated later.

Thinking of this, he looked unkind and said coldly: "Don't try this on me."

The steward had dealt with him several times and knew that he was greedy. He was surprised and said, "This is just an ordinary snack."

Have you never received one before?
The confidant said righteously, "Snacks? I didn't touch the snacks that Xu gave me in the past. I will send them all back later!"

After saying that, the confidant stood up and said, "Tell Xu Fan that according to the rules of the Ministry of Revenue, there is no more than three times of reporting. This is the second time I have come. Tomorrow will be the third time. If you don't report it... I will be sorry."

The steward hurried to the backyard, where the eldest son, who was supposed to be in bed, was drinking.

"How?" Xu Fan asked.

The steward said, "My Lord, something terrible has happened."

He repeated his confidant's words, and Xu Fan said blankly: "Return those snacks... This is to sever ties with the Xu family. Jiang Qingzhi... is going to take action!"

"Yes." The steward said anxiously, "Master, it seems that Jiang Qingzhi wants to take action against the Xu family."

Xu Fan closed his eyes in pain, "Someone go and tell Jiang Qingzhi... I'm hosting a banquet today and inviting him to drink."

Jiang Qingzhi responded quickly.

"Ben, no time!"
