Chapter 176: You should only urge me to be sideburns

"Yes! ”

A cultist shouted an order, and hundreds of people worked together to throw more than 300 dead bodies that had just been killed into the river, and the river was covered with corpses for a while, and the scene was unbearable to watch.

After doing this, Wei Fu ordered his subordinates to throw all these farm tools into the river, and the mud cleaned on both sides of the river also pushed people into the river again, and then put away the single knife, waved his hand and shouted: "Let's go!" ”

In a short time, the six hundred disappeared cleanly.

After most of the time, a figure appeared in a pile of aquatic plants on the shore, and in the light of the setting sun, it was the official who had escaped, he looked at the disgusting scene in the river, disgusted a few times, got up from the aquatic grass, and ran towards the Hangzhou government in the right direction.

In the Hangzhou Mansion, the prefect Chen Fu had just handled foreign official business and returned to the backyard, where he was judged, and the official was promoted. Seeing Chen Fu walking in, everyone hurriedly got up and saluted with fists, Chen Fu hurriedly hugged his fists and saluted, and said with a smile: "You are all colleagues in the government, and you have met many times on weekdays, so forget about this red tape!" ”

Prefect Chen Fu is a native of Huai'an, Fujian. Yongle was a twenty-two year jinshi, and he was known to Hangzhou by the head of the household department. Honest and selfless, a large province of prison lawsuits, can be regarded as a good official, but he has a very bad problem, he likes to be subordinate and elegant, and it is indispensable to deal with the daily poetry of a group of subordinates of the government to deal with foreign official business.

After everyone sat down, Chen Fu picked up his wine glass and smiled, "Do you have a theme today?" β€œ

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

As soon as Chen Fu's voice fell, Liu Fu, a fellow acquaintance on the side, said with a smile: "September Chongyang, it was originally a dogwood, but it's a pity that everyone here is not entangled in official business, but you can't go, but at this time in Hangzhou, in addition to climbing all over the dogwood, there is only flavor!" β€œ

Li He, who was sentenced, took over and said: "When it comes to taste, of course Hangzhou is about eating crabs. The so-called "west wind rises, crab feet itch, now the autumn is crisp, it is the season to eat crabs, how about eating crab tea today?" β€œ

Chen Fu adhered to his neatly combed long beard and smiled: "Okay, good, so it's the best!" ”

Liu Fu threw a look at the little boy behind him, and the little boy understood, and hurriedly ran away, and after a while, he served two large plates of hairy crabs and a few cups of high-quality West Lake Longjing.

"Today, let's taste the flavors of this place! It's good to follow the example of the old Lanting set! Judge Li He said with a smile.

"Good, good! That's it? The crowd laughed.

As the saying goes, "Eat female crabs in September and male crabs in October." Chen Fu is a native of Fujian, quite familiar with eating crabs, the two plates of hairy crabs in front of him, seem to be fried golden, but mostly female crabs, it is delicious time, swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and unceremoniously picked up a chopstick from the table, gently knocked twice, opened the crab bucket, broke off a crab leg, quickly picked off the crab sac and gills, and used the crab tip to remove the hexagonal heart and foreintestine, the white and fresh crab meat into the bowl, and then was about to be sent to the mouth, suddenly remembered what was missing, looked down, it turned out to be the tea in his cup I don't know when I was drunk dry by myself, This crab kernel is the original flavor, if you can't drink something, but it tastes very greasy, just about to let the child store water, Liu Fu on the side smiled, and said: "Adults don't know, this crab kernel is a benign thing, although the West Lake Longjing is good, but there is no doubt about the adult's body, but it is the best soju?" β€œ

Chen Fu laughed and said, "If it weren't for Lord Liu's reminder, this official would have almost forgotten!" Okay, serve! ”

The little boy hurriedly filled everyone with a glass of water and wine, Chen Fu stuffed the crab kernel in his hand, picked up the wine glass, chewed the crab kernel and said: "In the past, Wu Bin's "Butler" once said that the drinking object should be best elegant, heroic, straightforward, forgetful, confidant, old friend, jade, Keer", the drinking place is "under the flowers, bamboo forest, high pavilion, painting boat, secluded hall, Qu Jian, Pingchou, lotus pavilion", the drinking season is "spring suburbs, flower time, clear autumn, new green, rain and Ji, snow, crescent moon, evening cool, today I am not under the moon before the flower, It's not bad to drink crabs, the official is not talented, the soul is caused, there is a small poem, and please give me more advice! ”

Everyone high-fived and said, "There is still so much knowledge about drinking?" When the flowers are in the spring suburbs, before the flowers and under the moon, only the jade people who know are missing, but they are accompanied by adult poems, I am afraid that they are no worse than what Wu Bin said! I'm waiting to hear you! ”

This Chen Fu also has some poetic talents, raised his head and drank the water and wine in the cup, groaned slightly, and said: "The Guan River winds around the yellow sand, and the miserable wind is slanted. The flowers are cold and there are no butterflies, and the grass is cloudy and there are hidden crows. Poetry is poor and sad like the sea, and it is difficult to dream home of thin wine. What is the matter with the Peerless East Wind, you should only urge me to sideburns. ”

Everyone listened carefully, this poem is a rare good poem, and they were about to applaud, but at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and the voice of an official came urgently: "My lord, the official sent to inspect the cleaning of the Jiangnan Canal has returned?" β€œ

Chen Fuzheng sang a good poem, and was secretly proud, when he suddenly saw that this official was so uninteresting, he rushed in to interrupt, and his heart was unhappy, and he snorted coldly, and said: "What's so panicked, don't you see that this official and your lords are chanting poems against each other?" β€œ

The official didn't know where this prefect got so angry, and when he heard his displeased, he shrunk his neck and didn't dare to speak.

Chen Fu shouted: "You are so flustered, what is the so-called matter? β€œ

The official glanced at everyone, hesitated for a moment, and said boldly: "The three hundred migrant workers in the Jiangnan Canal were killed by the Maitreya Sect, and more than 20 officials sent by the adults to visit, only Liu Biao was lucky enough to take the killing and came back alive to report the news!" β€œ

"Bang dang!"

The wine glass in Chen Fu's hand fell to the ground and shattered, and the rest of the people also changed their complexions.

Chen Fu said: "You mean that the Maitreya sect killed all the 300 farmers who cleaned the canal, and also killed the officials? β€œ

The official nodded and said, "Yes, this qiΔ“ Liu Biao can see it clearly!" β€œ

Chen Fu's face turned pale, this is the Maitreya Sect blatantly does not put the Hangzhou prefect in his eyes, and dares to kill people within his own jurisdiction, and also kills officials and officials, and plugs the canal, this is a provocation and contempt, he does not put him in the eyes of the Hangzhou prefect at all, if he ignores this, then where is his official authority, and his reputation will be damaged, and more importantly, now that the capital is about to be moved, the Maitreya Sect killed the farmers who cleaned up the Jiangnan Canal, which is obviously to make himself unhappy! β€œ

Chen Futie's face turned blue, and he snorted coldly and shouted, "Where is Captain Zhang?" ”

A burly man stepped forward, hugged his fists and said, "The last general!" ”

Chen Fu shouted: "You quickly lead a thousand troops, find out the location of the Maitreya Sect, and once you find a suspicious person, capture it immediately!" ”

Captain Zhang hugged his fists and said: "I understand my humble duties!" With that, he turned and left.

Everyone didn't expect this to happen, there was no interest in drinking just now, seeing that Chen Fu's face was pale, Liu Fu and the others were silent, no one dared to speak, and the entire back hall was silent for a while.

After a while, Liu He, the general judge, glanced at Chen Fu and boldly called: "My lord, now that the court knows that the emperor intends to move the capital, the Maitreya Sect is in Hangzhou under the jurisdiction of the lord at this time, killing people to block the river, and I am afraid that this matter is not so simple according to my humble duties?" ”

Chen Fu was angry just now, and he didn't have time to think about it, but at this time, he came back to his senses, listened to Liu He's words, and his eyes narrowed slightly: "The Maitreya Sect in Hangzhou, no one is killed, but the farmers who clean up the river on the side, and judging from the scene that the official said, the reason why the Maitreya Sect killed these farmers this time is to prevent them from dredging the river?" ”

"The Jiangnan Canal is where the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is located, and the emperor moved the capital to Nanjing, and he needs a lot of materials and manpower, and he must rely on the waterway, and the most convenient waterway is the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal.

Chen Fu frowned slightly, just a few days ago, Nanjing sent someone to send a message, the emperor has signs of moving the capital to Nanjing, the Jiangnan Canal as the busiest and most important section of the Grand Canal, must be in the emperor when the capital, keep the river unblocked, now the three hundred people just began to clean the canal, they were killed by the Maitreya Sect, and ordered people to clean up the river section, re-destroyed, all this, it is enough to show that the intention of the Maitreya Sect is to prevent the emperor from moving the capital? β€œ

Thinking of this, Chen Fu frowned: "The prince has issued an order a few days ago to clean up the silted section of the Jiangnan Canal at the end of the year and keep the river unblocked, this task is not a difficult task originally, but now that the intention of the Maitreya Sect is so obvious, it will not be easy to do, besides, this time the Maitreya Sect is so ruthless, kill three hundred people at once, and then want to gather the people to clean up the Dao, but it is not so easy, it is now the middle of September, and in a few months, it will be the end of the year, It's even more difficult to gather people! β€œ

"Damn Maitreyaβ€”?" Chen Fu couldn't help but scold, turned to Liu Fu and said, "Lord Liu! β€œ

Liu Fu hurriedly stepped forward and hugged his fists and said, "What do you command?" β€œ

Chen Fu said: "It is the prince's will to dredge the river, and it must not be lost, you quickly gather the people to dredge the river?" β€œ

Liu Fu's face was embarrassed: "The Jiangnan Canal stretches for thousands of miles, and there are a lot of people needed, this time three hundred people were killed by the Maitreya Sect, and when it spreads tomorrow, I am afraid that the people's hearts are shaking, and there are still people to clean up the river!" Just wanted to say something, when he saw Chen Fu's gloomy face, he hugged his fists and said: "I understand the lowly position, so I will do it?" β€œ

Chen Fu nodded and said, "Go-?" β€œ

In a small courtyard in Mingyue Bay, a short man jumped off the wall, and a person in the house hurriedly greeted him, and said in a low voice: "From the dragon, from the wind, from the tiger, fame, fortune, dust and earth." Looking at Shenzhou, the people are bitter, and thousands of miles of fertile land are barren. β€œ

The man in the courtyard also lowered his voice and said: "Look at the world, as much as you want, the way of heaven is broken and made up." Good boy, don't be a parent, just for the common people, not for the lord. β€œ

"Come in, Protector Wei is waiting for you in the inner hall!"

The short man quickly entered the inner hall, the inner hall is not big, but it is a small Buddha hall, there is a bronze statue in the middle of the Buddha hall, it is Maitreya Buddha, bald head is now a monk, both ears are hanging down the shoulders, the face is full of smiles, and the smile is wide open. Wearing a robe, with his chest and abdomen exposed, he pressed a large pocket in one hand and a string of Buddhist beads in the other, and looked happily at a qiΔ“ in the Futang.
