Chapter 9: Taking advantage of the disadvantages

The so-called arena is not the mainstream after all, it is just the world of a small group of people.

Judging from Da Qin's restrictions on Jianghu sects, we know that these sects are not good enemies. Let alone killing and fighting, they must at least be charged with disturbing the peace.

In fact, because of their extraordinary power, these people refuse to obey the rules and are allowed to engage in normal industries. It is basically impossible for them to do it according to the standards of ordinary people.

I have the power, why don’t I use it?

This is the main reason why the government imposes restrictions on Jianghu sects.

Today I will kill you, tomorrow you will kill me, and you will also destroy the whole family and so on. Unlike Zhao Yu, he would not take the initiative to do it. But these people in the world will take the initiative and use their own strength to do whatever they want to do.

Of course, it cannot be so absolute to say that they are all bad guys with sores on their heads and pus on their soles.

Ada said that heroes who defend their homeland and open up new territories, those who manage local areas and stay open at night without picking up lost things are heroes. Zhao Yushen agrees with this. But it is not necessarily true that there are no heroes in the world.

But after all, it is a minority among the minority. The base of ordinary people is so large that it is not easy to find a true hero, let alone a small group of people in the world?

Why do we call the rivers and lakes green forests?

Because people in the Jianghu, these rangers, often do things that are not much different from bandits and bandits. Or he is a bandit, covertly or covertly.

How difficult is it to find a hero among bandits and bandits?

Zhao Yu also looked down upon this self-proclaimed so-called hero conference. In his opinion, it was just child's play.

So he nodded: "Probably the geographical location of Changhe County is so good that it is almost isolated from the outside world. So these knights and sects took advantage of the chaos in the Qin Dynasty to come here..."

As he spoke, he shook his head: "Don't expect these people to have a big picture of the overall situation. They are not the knights praised in novels and short books. They are also human beings. And they are a small group of people at the bottom of society."

After a pause, he added: "No matter what, I don't want to see chaos in Changhe County. Since these people in the world are involved in cause and effect with me, haha..."

With a faint smile, Zhao Yu shook off his riding whip, clattered his horse's hooves, and walked away looking at the city gate.

In Zhao Yu's eyes, there is almost no question of personal good and evil. Of course, people with great kindness can enter his Dharma eyes. But if the evil person is not provoked, he will not be bored to find trouble.

That's a government matter.

The reason is that Zhao Yu often looks down on people in the world who regard themselves as chivalrous. These people often have good intentions but do bad things. For example, an incident that happened in Changhe County a few years ago is a striking example.

A few years ago, a gangster suddenly appeared in Changhe County. The government has already monitored this thief. This criminal thief has close ties with Xirong. Therefore, the government was not in a hurry to take action, but secretly opened a large net, intending to use this criminal thief to wipe out Xirong's informants and networks in Changhe County.

For this reason, both the county governor's office and the local garrison in Changhe County were fully prepared.

But he didn't expect that some kind of hero from the Changhe Sword Sect would kill the Jiangyang thief.

On the surface, it seemed to be a chivalrous act, but in fact, it made the government not only unable to uproot Xirong's arrangement in Changhe County from this criminal thief, but it was a waste of hard work.

Moreover, the government has not been able to find any trouble with this ‘hero’. Because he didn't commit a crime!

In Da Qin, killing evil thieves was not only guiltless, but also meritorious.

So Zhao Yu looked down upon them.

The rabble is the rabble. In particular, Zhao Yu was a general of a country in his previous life, a figure with an eye on the overall situation, and he was even more disgusted with such a troublemaker.

What makes Zhao Yu even more disgusted is that these knights like to cause trouble for those with evil reputations, but they are accustomed to bullying ordinary people. Hengxing Township is talking about such people.

I never saw them helping when families were having difficulties in life.

In fact, most of these people deal with evil thieves just for the sake of reputation. A reputation as a hero. As for someone who truly serves the people, at least Zhao Yu has never seen one in Changhe County.

The two of them rode in pairs, ignoring the Jianghu knights carrying knives and swords along the road, all the way to the city gate.

Horse racing has never been allowed in the city, so he got down.

Looking up, I saw notices posted at the city gate.

Zhao Yu's eyesight was extraordinary. He glanced at it and couldn't help but frown.

Dozens of notices covered almost both sides of the city gate. The vast majority of these notices are new. The person's head is drawn on it, and the reason why he is wanted is stated below.

They are all from the world!

Either stealing chickens and poking dogs, or killing people and robbing money, there are all kinds of these.

Zhao Yu understood.

It is precisely because of the so-called Heroes Conference that the Rangers from all over the world are attracted, that such frequent evil incidents occur.

Ah Da also saw it clearly, and the look on his face turned cold instantly.

Zhao Yu adopted three hundred people, but each one of them had experienced a good education. They have martial arts taught by Zhao Yu, but absolutely none of them has ever bullied the weak or done evil outside.

They are not knights and can kill, but they have real benevolence.

Zhao Yu shook his head: "Let's go ahead."

Looking away, the two of them led the horses and entered Changhe City.

If you want to meet the prefect, you must not be hasty. Even the county magistrate must submit a name card, let alone the prefect? So he first found an inn where he would stay and asked Ada to hand over his name card.

Before noon, Zhao Yu took Ada to the prefect's mansion.

There are attendants waiting for a long time.

So I didn't mention entering the house.

The prefect Wang Tao had been waiting for him in the living room. Ada followed his attendants, while Zhao Yu walked into the hall carrying a gift box under the guidance of his attendants.

"Master Taishou, are you okay?!"

Zhao Yu smiled slightly, handed the brocade box to the attendant, and then bowed.

The prefect, Wang Tao, was over fifty years old. He had a pale face but was quite energetic. There is a beard under the chin and white hair on the temples. There is a sense of official power between the elegant eyebrows.

It must be understood that a high-ranking official such as a prefect is already a high-ranking official with two thousand stones, a pastoral guard on one side, and a high-ranking official on the border. Even the governor of the state cannot override the prefect.

The state governor was just a supervisor sent by the imperial court and could not interfere with the local area. Only the right to make suggestions, not decision-making. It is an intermediary role between local and central authorities.

The official position of prefect is actually directly responsible to the central court.

So it has a high position.

If the prefect is promoted and enters the court, his official rank will not be inferior to that of Jiuqing.

Therefore, this official power is really powerful. No matter how ordinary people see the prefect, they all bow their heads.

But Zhao Yu is not like that.

In his previous life, he almost achieved the role of one person below ten thousand people. In terms of official power, he was much greater than the prefect. If he hadn't been able to capture the breath, it would have shocked people once it was released.

Moreover, the relationship between him and Wang Tao was probably a friendship between gentlemen who had forgotten their years, as plain as water, that's exactly what happened.

Wang Tao chuckled, stood up, accepted a half-courtesy, returned a half-courtesy, and then the guests and hosts took their seats.

With a smile on his face, Prefect Wang first waved the attendant to bring the gift box to him. He opened it gently and smelled a faint scent of medicine. He couldn't help but feel enlightened: "Xiandi, this health pill is indeed a good treasure. It happened to be given last time." I’ve just finished using it, so I’m thinking of asking someone to rush it.”

Health pills are Zhao Yu’s gifts to friends.

This has always been the case.

Whether it's Wang Tao or Li Ziyun.

This pill was made by Zhao Yu himself and is used to replenish energy and strengthen the body. The medicine is mild, has no side effects, and works quickly.

For example, Wang Tao was already in his fifties, and his energy and spirit had declined drastically. However, he had to take charge of many affairs in a county, and he was often unable to do what he wanted. But as long as I take one health pill, I will immediately feel energetic and my mind will be alert.

Zhao Yu laughed when he heard this: "Nothing else, the health pills are enough."

The two reminisced about old times and chatted for a while before getting down to business.

Zhao Yu then told Wang Tao exactly what he had said to Li Ziyun yesterday.

After all, Wang Tao is older, has rich experience, and has a much more stable temperament. After hearing the words, he thought about it and couldn't help but said: "The proliferation of rangers is indeed a big trouble. I must have seen many wanted notices when I entered the city, which were all done by rangers in recent times. Now the hero of Lao Shizi on the Green Forest Road The conference is held, and rangers from all over the world are here, and there are many sects. It’s like a hornet’s nest. If you poke it, it will explode.”

After a pause, Wang Tao continued: "The southeastern part of the empire is in turmoil. Ten pavilions of the Xizhou army have transferred seven pavilions, and Xirong is unstable. Once the Jianghu Rangers' affairs are not handled properly and the internal order is disturbed, it will be a disaster."

After hearing this, Zhao Yu nodded slightly: "What the old brother said is true. But this ranger is a destabilizing factor after all. If you don't touch him, you can't guarantee the internal stability of the county. The wanted notice at the gate of the city is evidence."

Then he said: "I'll teach you, brother, don't worry. I always act with confidence. I don't intend to catch all the rangers in one go and kill them all. I just need the cooperation of the county soldiers to put pressure."

Then he put his mind to the matter and said one by one: "In six days, there will be the Laoshizi Heroes Conference. I will go to the Changhe Sword Sect and deal with the ranger leaders first."

Wang Tao frowned and said: "Brother, are you sure? It's not that I don't believe it. You said you are very capable, but..."

Zhao Yu laughed: "Brother, do you think that I don't value my life?"

Wang Tao laughed dumbly and motioned for Zhao Yu to continue.

"The Jianghu Rangers respect strength. I will take charge of myself and subdue everyone. If I cooperate with the government soldiers to exert pressure, I may not be able to take these Jianghu people into my own hands."

"Take it for your own use?" Wang Tao frowned.

"Of course." Zhao Yu said with a smile: "I have a suggestion here. Brother, please listen to it."

"Appreciate further details."

"The Jianghu Rangers are just a ragtag group of people on the battlefield and cannot be used for much purpose. But in some places, they are extremely useful, such as detecting news, such as catching bandits. The Tingwei Mansion already has such a prototype."

Hearing this, Wang Tao looked startled and couldn't help but nodded: "The Tingwei Mansion does have such a prototype. Isn't the bounty hunter just a way of using people in the world?"

"Of course." Zhao Yu said with a smile: "Now that the Xizhou army has gone from ten pavilions to seven pavilions, it is impossible for Xirong not to find out. Once the Xirong barbarians take advantage of this to invade, my old brother's worry will probably come true. "
