Back to the early Tang Dynasty to be a fairy

Chapter 65 Go to the underworld and become a foreman, Ma Zhou

At dusk, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the towering city walls of Chang'an City, and also passed through the windows of the shops, casting faint yellow halos inside the restaurants.

A little Taoist priest in white clothes held the hilt of an ancient sword in his hand, pointed the sword point at the throat of a stunned scribe, and stared at him like a sword.

"King Ma Bin, Pindao can give you another chance to reorganize the language..."

"Okay, let me tell the truth..."

Ma Zhou looked at Kong Qing's sharp eyes that seemed to be like the edge of a sword, his whole body trembled, he raised his hands in astonishment, and replied honestly.

"Didn't I hear Yuan Tiangang said that I have at least ten years to sink? So I thought it was still early, why not wait for a while with Mrs. Zhao's family, and you also know that a certain one has not yet matured, Brother Qingwei. Dear, so I wanted to..."

"No, actually you don't want to at all!"

Kong Qing's eyes narrowed, and the Gu Chen sword in his hand trembled, and the cold air slid across Ma Zhou's neck.

"Well, I really don't want to at all." Under Kong Qing's sword, Ma Zhou immediately became clear-eyed, with a dignified expression on his face. "...Because a certain has already decided to find a job as a brush and ink, and then move out from here to be self-reliant."

"now it's right……"

With a flick of Kong Qing's wrist, Gu Chenjian was inserted back from the scabbard behind him like a swimming dragon, making a cracking sound.

"Man, man, how can you always eat free food?"

After hearing Kong Qing's words, Ma Zhou's lips twitched a few times, as if he was planning to say something, but when he saw Kong Qing narrowed his eyes again and touched his sword hilt with his hand, he immediately nodded seriously.

"That's right, Brother Qingwei, you are right!"

"It's just a job of brushing and ink. Pindao thinks it's a bit inferior to you, King Ma Bin..."

With his hands, Kong Qing pulled the Xiong Baiyan that the wife of the Zhao family had just made toward him, and then imitated Ma Zhou's lazy tone and said.

"Pindao has a good idea here. If you can do it, it will definitely be much better than you Ma Binwang serving pen and ink, but I don't know if you want to?"

"This...isn't it?"

After hearing Kong Qing's words, Ma Zhou looked up at Kong Qing in astonishment, and said tentatively, "I still want to..."

"No, you don't want to!"

Kong Qing narrowed his eyes, and touched the hilt of the sword behind him again.

"Yes, I don't want to..."

Once again, Ma Zhou was flattered.

"Right now, I think it's good to hear your thoughts, Brother Weixian."

"Of course, can Pindao still harm you?"

Looking at the respectful Ma Zhou, the corners of Kong Qing's mouth curled up slightly, and instantly felt that the rascal's appearance became much more pleasing to the eye.

"Two days ago, Gao Shugui, the eldest brother of the rangers in Nancheng, suddenly disappeared, and several of his confidants also died in his mansion..."

"This one……"

Ma Zhou blinked and said cautiously.

"Brother Qingwei, you know that since I came to Chang'an, I have never been out with Mrs. Zhao's house, so the life and death of this ranger has nothing to do with it."

"I know it has nothing to do with you, but don't you think this is a good opportunity? Now those rangers are leaderless..." Kong Qing raised his head and said to Ma Zhou in a bewitching tone.

"If there is a smart person mixed in at this time, it must not be very difficult to organize them..."

"No! Brother Qingwei, you are wrong..."

Ma Zhou quickly understood what Kong Qing meant, shaking his head like a rattle.

"Those rangers know very well. They are a group of rabble. It is very difficult to organize them."

"Okay, maybe it's a little difficult, but..."

Kong Qing continued.

"If it can be done, it means that you will have a group of your own men in Chang'an City, and you will no longer have to rely on others. When you go in and out, you will respond to everyone. How majestic."

"Prestige is prestige, but the question is what to support those subordinates," Ma Zhou said with a wry smile. "Do you want someone to commit crimes? No, I really can't do this..."

"Pindao has already planned this matter for you,"

Kong Qing said in a low voice.

"After you control those rangers, you can take them to recruit some idlers to contract some construction projects. Now that it is after the chaos, many people must start to renovate their houses..."

"but……"

Ma Zhou wailed and tried his best to evade.

"I don't have any money at all, how can I recruit idlers to do this?"

"It's simple..."

Kong Qing replied without hesitation.

"Pindao can invest thirty guan for you, let you buy some shovels, hammers, hoes, etc., and Pindao can also sponsor you a few shovels made of high-quality stainless steel..."

"But I just came to Chang'an, and I'm not familiar with the place..."

Ma Zhou spread his hands out, with a helpless expression on his face.

"I just want to pick up these tinkering jobs, but I can't find a place to pick them up."

"Just in time, Pindao knows that Mr. Pei Ji and Mr. Pei's mansion needs to do some good deeds to repair bridges and roads, and at least half a year..."

Kong Qing looked at Ma Zhou with a half-smile.

"Pindao can write a handwritten letter introducing you, Ma Zhou, to Mr. Pei's son, Lieutenant Pei's son-in-law, lawyer Pei, to ensure that you will receive enough work."

"but……"

Ma Zhou looked at Kong Qing's eyes gliding left and right, with a troubled expression on his face.

"I still feel that this matter is inappropriate."

Swish!
Kong Qing stretched out his hand, Gu Chen unsheathed, Ma Zhou's eyes were dazzled by the dense white blade...

"OK……"

Ma Zhou's embarrassed expression immediately became firm. "Someone thinks this is a very good idea, so this matter is settled."

"is it?"

The corners of Kong Qing's mouth curled up, and he looked at Ma Zhou with a smile. "Are you sure, King Ma Bin?"

"That's right, it's settled..."

Ma Zhou nodded as if pounding garlic.

"Then let's swear..."

Kong Qing turned the pool of autumn water in his hand across and compared it to Ma Zhou's eyes. "Let's say that you, Ma Zhou, are determined to devote yourself to the civil construction of Chang'an City, and you will never be distracted before your achievements are completed."

"Is this swearing unnecessary?"

Ma Zhou looked at the gloomy white blade in front of him, swallowed a mouthful of spit, and said carefully.

"The so-called gentleman's words..."

"use!"

Kong Qing firmly pushed the three-foot autumn water in his hand forward.

"Pindao only believes in those who swear by Gu Chenjian..."

"..."

That's it, after Kong Qing's presentation of the facts and reasonable persuasion, Ma Zhou finally decided to become the eldest brother of Chang'an Rangers, and organized the Rangers to set up an engineering team to devote themselves to Chang'an's civil engineering.

At the end, Ma Zhou accepted Kong Qing's [-] investment investment with a sad face, and then swore to Gu Chenjian that he would never distract him if he failed in his achievements, and would never disappoint Kong Qing's cultivation of him.

Kong Qing is very satisfied with this...

As for whether Ma Zhou can be a good contractor, will Kong Qing's thirty guan investment for him be in vain?
Imparable!
How to say Ma Zhou, although he eats and drinks, although he has a rogue personality, although he drinks and makes mistakes, and although he is a scumbag, it is undeniable that this guy is really a talented person.

In the current traffic rules, pedestrians keep to the right, which was first proposed by Ma Zhou, and it was implemented in Chang'an City, and it was also his first initiative that horses and carriages must have a speed limit when driving on the streets of the city...

When Ma Zhou proposed these things, those civilized Europeans had no concept of traffic rules at all.

Ma Zhou became an official in the fifth year of Zhenguan. He counterattacked all the way from a Zhimen Xiasheng to such a small official with less than eight ranks, and finally became Li Shimin's Zhongshuling.

And it took him only 13 years to do all this...

In 13 years, Ma Zhou completed the journey that 90.00% of the officials in the Tang Dynasty could not complete in 30 years.

Kong Qing believes that it is absolutely impossible for a mere contractor to be difficult for a good man like Ma Zhou...

And another point is that if Ma Zhou controls the rangers in Chang'an South City, then he can also learn some information about Chang'an City through Ma Zhou.

When the time comes to fool others by yourself... When pointing out the maze, you can also be more precise, and your actions for the sky can also be faster...

The merit value can also rise more rapidly!
Of course, apart from these, there was another very important reason why Kong Qing decided to drive Ma Zhou away.

Kong Qing found out from the identification technique that if he didn't do something, the wife of the Zhao family, Zhao Wang Yuelian, would remarry in the third year of Zhenguan, that is, eight years later, and the remarried partner would be Ma Zhou.

Of course, this is not the point...

The point is that after getting married, Ma Zhou was still promiscuous, went in and out of brothels, sang and drank wildly, and finally died of diabetes when he was in his 40s.

After his death, he directly put a kefu hat on the head of Mrs. Zhao's family, so that Mrs. Zhao's family lived aggrieved for ten years under the fingering of others, and then died of depression.

So in order to avoid such a tragedy, Kong Qing decided to cut it off from the source. Anyway, after Ma Zhou gets mixed up, there must be a famous lady who can jump into his pit...

It's Jiang Zi!

It's definitely not because of myself, because the eldest lady of the Zhao family is good-looking and rich, so I have the same desire to earn money and sex like Ma Zhou, a scumbag.

How could it be possible for a poor Taoist Qingweizi, a master of Taoism, to be like a scumbag like Ma Zhou?
