Liu Ke's division has been trusted and valued by Ye Qing for many years, especially whenever the war begins, Liu Ke's division, who is in the rear, is even more busy than Ye Qing.

Although the supply of food and supplies and the supply of soldiers were not his main mission, every time Ye Qing conquered the city on the front line, many matters of the aftermath were relieved were passed through his hands.

It is precisely because of the years that as Ye Qing fought in all directions, Liu Ke's army gradually became confident when he was in a hurry at the beginning. Whether it was a city captured with iron hooves or a city captured with no fight, Liu Ke's army had great confidence and determination to do all the comforting and dispatches in the city in the shortest time, and also enabled every city captured by Ye Qing to restore the order it should have in the fastest time.

But because of the different assignments Liu Ke received, and the situation in each city is very different, Liu Ke has gradually been stimulated with greater potential.

"The Analects of Confucius·Ji": I heard that those who have countries and families are not worried about lack of poverty but are uneven, and those who are not worried about poverty but are uneasy. No poverty, no harmony or lack of poverty, and no peace or stability.

Liu Keshi, who was originally a pacifier, was regarded as a motto by the teacher. He always hoped to be able to be free from poverty, no worries, and no peace, so as to try his best to make the hearts of people in a city and a land quickly lean towards the Song court.

But the facts have proved that Liu Keshi’s motto is difficult to work, and there is basically no hope to solve the problem of not worrying about being weak but not being equal.

It is precisely because Master Liu Ke has completely seen through the secular world of people. When he no longer sticks to the unsolving problem of not worrying about being weak and uneven, Master Liu Ke's way of doing things began to undergo earth-shaking changes. He was originally a little bit of pedantic and idealized, and began to lean towards the secular and reality at a speed visible to the naked eye, which made his comforting methods become decisive and decisive.

In Liu Keshi's view, the way a bowl of water will no longer be flat will cause great shock and uneasiness, but the factual result is just the opposite. Every city, whether it is the people or the gentry, the wealthy and nobles suddenly become extremely obedient, and the pacification dispatch began to proceed very smoothly.

Along the way, Liu Keshi's move worked extremely well. No matter which city he was in, he had almost never encountered too much resistance. But now in Yanjing City, Liu Keshi has encountered great resistance, which made him have all the conspiracies, but Yanjing City is still undercurrents.

Thirty-eight people were tied to Liu Keshi's eyes. Liu Keshi, who was inspired, looked at these "prisoners" and sighed: "In this world... there is really no absolute fairness. Fairness... is nothing more than a manifestation of strength. If you have strength, everything will be fair to you. If you don't have strength, everything will be unfair to you. You can blame the heavens, the earth, people, fate, and the sky, but you can't blame yourself, but the fact is... You must blame yourself for not seeing the situation clearly, and by chance you will become the chicken that kills the chicken to warn the monkey."

"The incident they provoked first has nothing to do with us. We are all businessmen." The shopkeeper of Fuman Restaurant, with a blue face, shouted to Liu Keshi for his innocence, while recalling that this familiar Song court official seemed to have seen him somewhere.

"The court has always strictly prohibited private fights among the people. I believe you should know it too?" Liu Keshi smiled warmly, and at this moment he had the temperament of Ye Qingyin in his usual life.

"But sir, we should not only arrest us, we should arrest those who provoke trouble. sir, I am willing to testify with them to prove that they deliberately provoked us, let alone that we were the one who was beaten..." The shopkeeper for a moment had some memories of where the familiar official had seen him, but he dared to bet that he had definitely seen him, and it was definitely not the first time he met today.

Before the shopkeeper finished speaking, Liu Keshi waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter who provokes whom it. What's important is that you also participated in this fight, and it happened in your restaurant. These are enough to convict you..."

Seeing the shopkeeper and the other people yelling to seek justice in anger, Liu Ke handed the so-called constables in Yanjing City next to him with a look, and saw several constables standing next to the complaints and complaints, and slapped the golden men several times in a row.

Each slap was almost full of strength. A crackling sound and muffled groan came from the room in an instant, and then it became quiet immediately. Looking at the golden men who had just shouted for justice, in addition to their bruised noses and swollen faces, there were traces of blood on the corners of their mouths. There were even a few bloody teeth not far from them. However, compared to the eyes that were still showing their fierce light, there was obviously a hint of fear and awe in the eyes of these golden men at this time.

"Of course, I will not help my relatives or not. As for the people you slandered who deliberately provoke trouble, I will not let go. When I am arrested, I will naturally ask the whole story clearly. But... at present, do you admit your guilt, or confess your guilt?" Liu Keshi said lightly with his tea leisurely, his shameless look like what Ye Qing looked like when he squeezed Xing Qinghou Li An a few years ago.

"What crime do you want the common people to admit?" The shopkeeper was still thinking hard about his relationship with Liu Keshi in his mind, but he was also thinking about it at the same time. Today's affairs are probably difficult to get better, so now you might as well explore what the purpose of the government is.

After thinking about it, the shopkeeper of the Jin people did not feel that he had done something that offended the government during this period. As for the fight today, the shopkeeper is almost certain now. This is obviously a trap set by the Song Ting government for them.

Otherwise, how could it be that they would have caught all of them, but they didn't even catch a Song man, especially the five Song man who were provoking trouble? This is obviously extremely unreasonable.

"Oh, so..." Master Liu Ke looked at the Golden Man shopkeeper with some eyes shining, and then pondered for a while and continued: "It seems that there are other crimes on you?"

"I..." The shopkeeper of the Jin man was stunned and his heart was nervous. He didn't expect that the dignified Song Ting official would have such a despicable word-taking. At the moment, people were under the roof and had to bow their heads. Finally, they had to bow their heads and said: "Sir, Xiaomin and others are good people, and they are honest businessmen, and they have never done anything, especially..."

"But it is said that you not only fight, but also spread rumors, and the witches are confusing the public, right?" Liu Keshi said lightly.

The shopkeeper who had originally bowed his head suddenly

He raised his head and looked directly at Master Liu Ke, who looked back at the shopkeeper indifferently: "Is it because I am the one who made the decision?"

"My lord detained the civilian today, I'm afraid it's not for the sake of fighting?" the shopkeeper asked with a serious expression.

"What do you think?" Master Liu Ke asked.

"If the adults think that it is the common people who spread rumors and confuses the public, the common people will probably disappoint the adults. The private people run a restaurant, and there are all kinds of guests coming and going, so they may not be able to stop them even if they talk about it. If the adults convict this crime..." said the shopkeeper's expression more and more serious.

The already worried heart kept sinking at this moment. The more you fear, the more you come. Although he had thought about this possibility before, because of the special nature of opening a restaurant, he was quite confident. Even if the Song Ting government wanted to find out who was walking about who was walking, it would be difficult to find out about himself and others.

"Just pull it down and interrogate it one by one." Liu Ke waved his hand, and the golden men who had been slapped several times because of the injustice were instantly pulled out by the detectives on both sides.

"Sir, what do you want to do? Do you want to betray it?" The golden shopkeeper kneeling on the ground thrust his waist and wanted to stand up, but as soon as he thrust his waist, someone pressed his shoulders and knelt on the ground again.

"Some people are very stubborn. Even though they know that they are serious, they will not admit their guilt easily. So this torture has its meaning, right?" Liu Keshi still looked relaxed, but the golden men who had just been slapped a few times at this time had a huge change in their faces, and the fear in their eyes became stronger and stronger. There were even two unconsciously calling the golden man shopkeeper to help him.

The Golden Man Shopkeeper saw the companions who had just been slapped and pulled out by kicking them out, and his heart became heavier and nervous. He had to be a little more alert to the Song official sitting in front of him.

Since this Song official entered the room, everything that happened in the room seemed extremely natural, but now when the Jin man shopkeeper looked at the few people who were dragged out with pulling and kicking, his heart suddenly shook and secretly exclaimed that the Song official's behavior was so sophisticated.

There were thirty-eight golden men kneeling in the huge room. Among these thirty-eight golden men, obviously not everyone is as tough as the shopkeeper. Naturally, some are not afraid of the government and some are afraid of the government. There are both cunning and those with a strong mouth, some are weak in mind and not strong in their hearts and mouths.

Just now, Master Liu Ke pointed casually and ordered the constable to slap a few golden men. It seemed that they were just randomly selected, but now they looked more like a few of the thirty-eight people who carefully selected them from the thirty-eight people who looked like they were not strong-willed and had not very tight-mouthed.

Even though everyone had scars on their faces when fighting at the restaurant, Liu Keshi still keenly discovered that in the shortest time, the fear of several of them was even greater than that of others. In addition, the reason why these people were the first to complain about the injustice, it was possible to judge what they wanted to get from them. Obviously, these people who were willing to speak could become their own breakthrough in the shortest time.

"What do you want to know? If the little people know, they will definitely know everything." The shopkeeper of the Jin man looked at Master Liu Ke's confident look, and he didn't dare to be careless at the moment, and had to take a twelve-point spirit and said cautiously.

"Okay, tell me who was instructing you to do this behind the scenes?" Liu Kes asked with a smile, not mentioning what the so-called confusing people mean.

"Sir... Xiaomin doesn't understand, but... Xiaomin guessed that he wanted to ask Xiaomin what he was doing." The shopkeeper became extremely calm and obedient, and continued: "Xiaomin has heard some rumors in the restaurant. Of course, Xiaomin never believed it from beginning to end, but Xiaomin can still vaguely remember who was the first to start talking about these in Xiaomin's restaurant. Besides, the adults should also know that in addition to the restaurant opened by Xiaomin, there are also these rumors in other tea shops, restaurants, and even casinos in Yanjing City."

"Oh? I don't know what the rumor is?" Master Liu Ke grabbed the shopkeeper's grammatical disease again and asked lightly.

The Jin man shopkeeper frowned. The familiar Song official in front of him was very treacherous. Everything had never come from him, and he was pressing him to say it step by step.

"Xiaomin dared to ask, but I don't know what the adults are referring to, but I know with Xiaomin..." The Jin Man shopkeeper continued to struggle.

But before he could finish speaking, he could hear a shrill scream from outside, and the scream went from vaguely to clearly audible, and it even gradually became a bit numb.

Except for the shopkeepers and other people in the room, the other golden men listened to the screams that made people's scalp numb and goose bumps all over their bodies, and they unconsciously became uneasy and commotion. They lowered their heads and occasionally glanced at their companions next to them, and gradually began to appear on their faces with more obvious fear.

"No hurry. Since you are willing to be careless with me, I will naturally accompany you to the end." Master Liu Ke's tone was still calm and indifferent, but with the shrill screams from outside, Master Liu Ke's faint voice heard in the Jin people's ears, which made him feel a different taste.

The Jinman shopkeeper swallowed unconsciously, his expression became gloomy and unstable. He reminded himself in his heart to try not to guess what kind of inhuman torture had he encountered in those shrill screams.

Compared with the cruelty and fear that people see with their own eyes, the fear and cruelty that people imagine can often make people feel more frightened and can also cause disintegration and collapse.

What's more, the Song Dynasty royal family was captured by the Jin Dynasty. From emperors, empresses, concubines, officials at all levels, eunuchs, etc., the inhuman cruelty suffered by the Jin Dynasty has long become the topic of the most talked about among the people after dinner.

Even though those things have passed for decades, they are still prosperous after dinner among the Jin people, and are still the topic they are most willing to talk about.

So now when they hear their companions screaming as shrill as ghosts, their minds will appear involuntarily. They talked about all kinds of inhuman cruel methods of treating the Song people all year round.

"Sir, I want to know the rumors about the King of Yan and the Empress Dowager..." The shrill screams outside were mixed with the crying of their companions and begging for mercy, which made the Jin Man shopkeeper's face very gloomy, and he had to compromise with Liu Keshi.

Just before he finishes talking

Mr. Liu Ke smiled and shook his head, and said in a calm tone but very firm manner: "No, what I want to know is... Who is the person behind you?"

The golden shopkeeper with a bruised nose and a swollen face was in a shady and clear face. Obviously, he seemed quite hesitant at this moment, and was weighing in on how to avoid it. The Song official who had just remembered to meet him was pressing step by step.

Just as he was weighing and thinking in his heart, Liu Keshi, who still had a calm smile on his face, reached out and pointed at the seemingly casually among the pile of golden men kneeling on the ground. Then several golden men who were already trembling were crying and begging for mercy by the constables on both sides of the left and right, pulled their hair and ears out.

Seeing that a few more people were pulled out, a look of panic flashed in the eyes of the Golden Man shopkeeper, but he said, "Sir, Xiaomin really doesn't understand what the adults mean. Sir, Xiaomin is just a merchant who opens a restaurant. He has no backing behind him, and there is no one behind him to instruct him behind him. These are all the things Xiaomin listens to the drinkers say..."

"It's almost time for an incense stick, and then someone will be punished." Master Liu Ke pointed to the incense burner on the table. The fragrance of green smoke was now only half left: "It's up to you whether you say it or not. You can ignore the life or death of your companions, but... there are many golden merchants in Yanjing City as if they are crossing the river. Since the Japanese official has found you, it means that the official has already had conclusive evidence."

"Sir, Xiaomin really doesn't know who the master behind the scenes that he said is!" The Jin Man shopkeeper thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said again.

"Good thing, good enough. Then let's continue?" Liu Keshi's originally calm eyes gradually became sharp.

At this time, after learning from Wang Tingyun that the owner of the Fuman Restaurant was arrested in the government, Li Shi'er suddenly felt extremely cold all over, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar suddenly.

So he didn't dare to stay any longer and hurriedly asked Monk Wanyan Chen to prepare a car to go to the Yan Prince's Mansion.

In Li Shi'er's opinion, she must not let the only support her power in Yanjing City be weakened by Ye Qing or Princess Yan. After all, once these powers are weakened, it not only means that there are fewer people around her, Li Shi'er, but the more serious consequence is that this may mean... the rest of the Jin people in Yanjing City will probably no longer recognize her as the Queen of the Jin Dynasty because of this.

Yan Qingcheng looked coldly at the panicked Queen of Jin Li Shi'er, with a hint of disdain on his lips, and said lightly: "I didn't expect that the so-called country would be as anxious as a dog that was lost after it, but it was really ironic."

"If you want to fight with me, you can fight with me openly, so why do you have to use those despicable means? Okay, today I'm not afraid to tell you that I intentionally collected the money. Yes, the purpose is to make Yanjing short of silver, and to make Ye Qing frustrated." Li Shi'er proudly raised her chin and said in the face of Yan Qingcheng's ridicule.

Yan Qingcheng still sneered. How could she not hear it? She just asked Li Shi'er about the series of questions just now after entering the mansion, and now she took the initiative to tell the Tibetan silver incident, which is enough to show that the Queen of Jin, who seemed to be as anxious as a dog, was still quite cunning at this time.

"What? Now I'm shaking out the shortage of cash in Yanjing. Do you want to exchange it with me?" Yan Qingcheng asked directly pointing out Li Shi'er's little thoughts.

"You..." Li Shi'er's eyes were circling. He never expected that Princess Yan, who had been very low-key since he arrived in Yanjing, was so keen and flexible, and he immediately determined that he was using the fact that he was using the issue of hiding cash as bait and serving as bargaining chips for exchange.

"Hmph, I want to tell you that what I have is bargaining chips. Unless you want Yanjing City to be short of silver and that the people cannot afford to buy food to survive. Otherwise, I will release people to me immediately, and I will naturally take out some of the silver..." Li Shi'er said coldly.

"What if I don't pay it?" Yan Qingcheng asked lightly, and then continued: "Don't think that hiding some cash in your hand can make the huge Yanjing panic about lacking cash. Isn't it just silver? The Yan Prince's Mansion dares not say that he has taken out more silver than you, but it is enough to solve Yanjing's urgent need."

"Hmph, do you think I will believe it?" It was Li Shi'er's turn to say with a sarcastic tone.

"If you believe it or not, if you don't believe it, you can go back and try it. See if you beg me or I beg you." Yanjingcheng sneered in a tit-for-tat way.

"Then you let the person go first." Li Shi'er said a little arrogantly.

Yan Qingcheng frowned slightly, and her bright eyes were still clear. Li Shi'er on the opposite side never noticed the doubt that Yan Qingcheng showed.

Yan Qingcheng did not send anyone to catch anyone from Fuman Restaurant, and he didn't know that the rumors about Ye Qing and Li Fengniang were first spread from Fuman Restaurant. The reason why she was able to find Li Shi'er directly was almost entirely due to the intuition of a woman.

What's more, if she really knew that it was the Fuman Restaurant, she wouldn't have looked for Li Shi'er directly, but immediately asked Liu Keshi to sign the Fuman Restaurant.

Just as Yan Qingcheng and Li Shi'er refused to give in and stared at each other, the elegant and luxurious Zhong Qing, who had a peerless temperament, walked in slowly. After glanced at the swelling Li Shi'er, she saluted slightly at Yan Qingcheng who smiled at her without even saying hello, and then said, "Yelu Yue plans to go to Anxi tomorrow. Is it good to see her off in the mansion today?"

"Are you so anxious? Is there any time to prepare what you need along the way?" Yan Qingcheng stood up unconsciously and asked.

Although she was not very clear about why Yelu Yue had to go to the Anxi Protectorate, she thought it was probably related to the deceased Liao Kingdom. After all, it was Yelu Yue's hometown. Now, maybe she missed the desert grassland too much, so she wanted to go back and take a look.

"I have made up my mind and am busy in the yard now. I said I was almost done and came over to tell you. I happened to have nothing to do, so I will tell you first and then prepare for the banquet to see her off today." Zhong Qing nodded and said.
Chapter completed!
