75. King

It is usually a young man who is physically strong. They ran away, but their parents, brothers, wives, and children remained at the bottom of the mountain, and they could not contact them openly, so they could only wait until midnight to sneak back and send some money and food. If the government investigates it tightly, it may not be able to see it in three or five years.

The reason why they pin their heads to the waistband of their trousers and do these unseemly jobs is not so that their relatives can live a good life? However, no matter how desperate they tried, they could not stand the oppression and exploitation of the magistrates, and when the natural disaster came, the disaster relief money was filled by them, the grain was resold by them at a high price, and the people had only drowned or starved to death.

Therefore, there was a tragedy in which the officials of various counties in Lishui Prefecture were wiped out by bandits, but no one from Suichang came to commit it. Because bandits were also good citizens in the past, they had relatives and friends, and when they saw their relatives and friends defecting to Suichang one after another to find a way to live, how could they not be happy and grateful?

Later, the Suichang County Commander was in charge of disaster relief in the entire territory of Lishui Province, but within a month, the displaced people had a place to live, and the submerged villages were rebuilt. They often stand on the top of the mountain and look at their hometown, and see the quiet and peaceful scene of the ploughing cattle below, the green rice seedlings, and the curling smoke of the cooking, and their hearts are full of mixed feelings.

They really wanted to lay down their weapons, pick up their hoes, and return to their hometowns to reunite with their relatives, but they were afraid that their past experiences would be found out by the government and innocent people would be implicated, so they had to stay in the mountains. However, their love for their relatives cannot die, their prayers for a better life cannot be extinguished, and their reverence and love for Xiao Zhao's county order are also indispensable.

The bandit dressed as a Confucian was originally a showman, and he had a good impression of the scholars, not to mention that his ancestral home was still Lishui, his parents, wife and children survived safely with the help of Xiao Zhao County's order, and the dozens of acres of fertile land taken away by the house slaves of the Wang prefect's mansion have also been returned. He admired Xiao Zhao County Commander very much, and often publicized his deeds to a group of brothers, making them yearn for and sigh.

Now, the legendary Bodhisattva descends to the same figure in front of them, how can they not be surprised? Suddenly, everyone gathered around and looked at each other.

The first impression is that he is thin and weak, but his appearance and bearing are like a breeze, and the rain turns all things, and he is worthy of being a parent official who feeds one side of the water and soil; The second impression is that he is young, and he looks like a yellow-haired boy who has not grown up, and he is worthy of being a ghost talent who won high school at the age of eighteen; The third impression is that it is simple, and all the luggage is not worth a few dollars, and it is said that he donated all his wealth to resettle the victims, which seems to be true.

These bandits have been rampant in the mountains for many years, what kind of people have not seen them? Not to mention the wealthy merchants, there are not a few officials who have been robbed by them, and the gold and silver treasures found can be piled up into a small mountain. But it was the first time that an official like Xiao Zhao County Commander had seen him with a clean sleeve.

"It's better to see than to hear, it's better to see than to hear!" Confucian put away the official seal and bowed to Youshu. He never expected that this young man who fell down as soon as the wind blew turned out to be the blue sky above the heads of the people of Lishui, and the sun and moon in their hearts. There is no need to verify, just look at him personally, and then look at his luggage, and you will know that none of the rumors in the market are false, and none of them are exaggerated and beautiful. He is far more honest and honest than they imagined, and he is selfless.

"Xiao Zhao County Order, how can you go to the capital with this little bit of entanglement?" After the prayer, he rearranged the package and said worriedly.

"It's really Xiao Zhao's county order! Oops, this is really a big flood that has washed the Dragon King Temple! I will make amends to you on behalf of my brothers, please don't blame you! The bandit leader also knew a few words, and after reading the guide, he immediately knelt down. Everyone also threw away their weapons and kowtowed, with a look of gratitude on their faces. Most of them are from Lishui, and their wives and children depend on the Xiaozhao County Order to survive the floods. It is no exaggeration to say that if you pull out a Lishui person at random, they are all loyal fans of Xiao Zhao County, and they are willing to go to the soup for him.

Youshu was very embarrassed, and while waving her hand to refuse, she drilled into the arms of King Yama, who was holding her, which made the other party happy.

After the bandit leader got up, he hurriedly explained, "Xiao Zhao County Order, all the bandits who colluded with the government have been wiped out by the imperial army, and those of us who stayed behind used to be good citizens, and the imperial court is preparing to recruit us." We only rob, not kill, and only rob rich businessmen and officials, and do not harm civilians. Some of the looted things were left for personal use, and the rest were given to the poor families at the bottom of the mountain. We are robbing the rich and helping the poor, don't get me wrong! โ€

"Yes, yes!" The bandit dressed as Confucian immediately said, "If you hadn't walked with the landlord Lao Cai behind us, we wouldn't have stopped you!" You're obviously not enough for this entanglement, so let's add a little more to you! โ€

Seeing that this group of fierce bandits wanted to give themselves silver in turn, and planned to send a few people to send them to Beijing, Youshu hurriedly refused, and in the end he was almost carried out of this mountain forest. The landlord's fortune entrusted him with his blessing, and he also kept five or six tenths of his property, otherwise he would have to dig up tree roots to eat along the way.

Only then did the coachman know that he was escorting Xiao Zhao County Order, and he was very excited while wiping his tears, "Oh, old man, I don't know what virtue I have accumulated in my previous life, and I am fortunate to send Xiao Zhao County Order to Beijing!" When my grandson grows up next year, I'll tell him, don't look at you-grandpa, I'm just a mud leg, but I drove the ox cart to Xiao Zhao County back then, hahaha......"

King Yama also chuckled, his heart overflowing with secret pride. Youshu's cheeks flushed, looking very embarrassed.

The landlord Lao Cai learned that it was Xiao Zhao County Commander who was snucker, and immediately wrapped two hundred taels of silver after passing the bandit's nest and sent it over, and was returned as a matter of course, which was really convinced. It's not easy for them to get by, especially if they don't have any background at home, if they don't like it, a word can ruin your family. A while ago, Xiao Zhao County Commander also sent an official to ask him for tens of thousands of taels of silver, saying that it was the money that Prince Li had made up for his birthday.

As a result, Prince Li died violently, and the money was not returned, and he thought that he was privately swallowed by Xiao Zhao County, but he actually used it to buy a lot of grain for disaster relief, and posted a charity list behind it, and wrote the names of all the landlords and gentry who made up the money, so that the people could admire. The new emperor felt the spirit of the people of Suichang who were in the same boat through thick and thin and tide over difficulties together, regardless of whether they were rich or poor, and specially wrote many plaques of "Benevolent Home" and awarded them to all the gentry to show their commendation.

The landlord Lao Cai has no background in his family, so he has never seen the county master, and can only deal with the officials below. In order to catch up with the superiors, he made the most money and received the most praise, so he naturally became famous in the Dayong business circle. This time, the new emperor reorganized his internal affairs, resigned all the former imperial businessmen, and prepared to replace them with new ones, so he also got an invitation letter.

In the final analysis, he can have today's scenery because of the blessing of Xiao Zhao's county order, how angry he was when he was blackmailed, and how ashamed and grateful he is now. Knowing that Xiao Zhao's county order was really incorruptible, he didn't dare to send silver anymore, and only made a few good dishes every day to send them over.

Seriously, being able to go the same way with Xiao Zhao County, he really accumulated virtue in his previous life, and he did good deeds in this life, so he had such good luck. From Lishui to the capital, the road is tortuous and far away, not to mention, but also through many bandits, but as long as the coachman stands on the wheel, shouting "The good man in front can be convenient, this is the Xiaozhao County Order of Suichang to go to Beijing to report on work", the bandits will get out of the way, and some will see them follow lightly, and even take the initiative to offer silver taels.

It can be seen from this that Xiao Zhao's county order is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

After getting along with him all the way, the landlord Lao Cai realized more and more that the real Xiao Zhao County Order was far better than the rumors by tens of millions of times. He never oppresses people with power, let alone extravagance and waste, and lives a very hard life. After the news of his report to Beijing spread, I don't know what the people of Lishui will cry like-

This is the last post station to stay in Beijing before entering Beijing, and you can reach the capital by driving for two hours tomorrow. Youshu finished dinner, returned to the room, and as usual, took off her clothes and jumped into the barrel to take a bath. King Yama first checked the doors and windows, set up a defensive circle on them, and only Shu was allowed to enter and exit, and no one was allowed to enter without his password, and then sat on a chair by the window, quietly admiring the beauty bathing picture.

Without a doubt, this is his greatest benefit, and it is also the most anticipated moment of every day.

Youshu is thin-skinned and affectionate, knowing that the other party follows her all the time to protect her safety, so she has no complaints, but is grateful. As for the slight inconveniences in life, patience is over. He was embarrassed to wipe himself in front of the king of Yama, so he turned his back and poured a scoop of water on his head.

The white mist evaporated in the room, reflecting him in a foggy and moist manner, and the skin that was already as white as jade revealed a peachy pink color at this time, looking fresh and delicious. He didn't know that every time at this time, the originally majestic Yama King would show a forbearant expression.

At first, he would use his heavy robe to block the reactive body, and try to sit still. But Xiao Zhao County Ling was really annoying, knowing that there were bystanders in the house, he actually touched here and there, which made him want to burn himself and almost collapse. After being hooked twice by Xiao Zhao's county order without soothing, he slowly began to indulge and enjoy it.

He first flicked his sleeves, making the window make a slight sound, and when Xiao Zhao County Ling looked back, he used a spell to trigger the token on his waist to make it glow, and finally hid his figure, pretending that there was something in the underworld that he needed to go back to deal with.

Recently, Youshu has figured out the pattern, and every time this time the king of Yama will leave. Thinking about it, the work and rest time of the underworld and the yang world are completely reversed, he protects himself during the day, and there are always many official duties to deal with at night.

"You know, you're my only friend and best friend." Youshu was lying on the edge of the bathtub and muttering to herself, her expression revealing a little loneliness. He has long been accustomed to the company of the other party, if it weren't for the other party's protection at all times, he would have lived in a black shop several times, and was almost made into a human meat bun.

This friendship has become heavier and heavier with the passage of time, and the other party's status in his heart has become higher and higher, second only to the master. He thought that he would never have a second friend as strong and forgiving as King Yama.

When he was full of emotion, he didn't know that his "best friend" was standing by the tub, staring at him with dangerous and burning eyes.

The definition of a friend was obviously not what King Yama wanted, but he was pleased by the word "only", and he couldn't help but chuckle twice. He propped his hands on the edge of the tub, and at first glance, he seemed to hug Xiao Zhao Xianling in his arms, and then slowly lowered his head, sniffing his body-fragrance mixed with wet water vapor, smelling along the top of his hair to the ears, cheeks, and finally lingering on the pink-tender lips and flaps for a long time.

His lips opened and closed slightly, wanting to kiss, but he pressed hard, only silently feeling the burning sensation of Xiao Zhao's body temperature on his skin, and the tip of his heart trembled. The sensation was so strong just through the air, what a thrilling feeling it would be to really pry open between his teeth and intertwine with the tip of his slippery tongue?

The more he thought about it, the more his lower body swelled and ached, and he had to move elsewhere. He sniffed the rounded shoulders along his neck, and the moment the drops of water from his hair fell into his collarbone, he grabbed a gap and imprinted a kiss as light as a butterfly's wings.

Youshu felt a cool air slowly wandering along the top of his hair, cheeks, and neck, and he couldn't help but get goosebumps, especially when the water droplets on his hair fell to his shoulders, it seemed to drop a bead of ice, which made him shiver from the cold. He hurriedly scooped up a ladle of water and poured it on his head, which made him feel better.

King Yama smiled silently, and after kissing his left shoulder, he changed to his right shoulder, but wherever the water droplets from his hair fell, there was a cold mark. It's his favorite game, and he's enjoying the moment, secret and enjoyable. But he won't let Xiao Zhao County Ling freeze, and when the water temperature is about to cool, he will use spells to heat it.

Youshu felt cold all over, so she had to water one scoop after another, and then a series of cold droplets fell onto her skin. Fortunately, the water in the bucket is at the right temperature, and the cold is quickly driven away, which avoids the danger of cold and flu. He soaked for about three quarters of an hour, then reached for the towel that was placed on the edge of the tub, only to accidentally hit it to the ground.

"Why did you drop it again?" He muttered to himself as he leaned over to pick it up, the tub was so high that he had to tiptoe as much as he could, pouting his ass, exposing his most secret parts.

But the culprit who really knocked the towel off stood behind him, staring at his smooth back and upturned hips with unfathomable eyes, his fingertips dangling over his rounded mounds, slowly outlining the seductive curve, and then moving along the line of the spine until the neck socket came to a standstill.

King Yama spread his five fingers, as if trying to choke the back of the man's neck, pull him into his arms and kiss him wildly, but in the end he restrained himself. He walked back to the window, waiting for his fiery body and mind to calm down. When Xiao Zhao County Ling climbed into bed and was about to fall asleep, he lifted the stealth technique and naturally reclined on his side.

Youshu was used to the haunting of King Yama, and when she found that there was suddenly another person around her, she didn't even frown, but was very relieved. He folded the quilt, said goodnight silently, and then fell asleep heartlessly.

King Yama waited a moment before kissing his smooth forehead and whispered goodnight. He doesn't need to sleep, he can watch this man all night, watch this man, help him tuck the quilt, chase away mosquitoes, and wait for the light of day with satisfaction.

The next day, Youshu made an appointment with the landlord Lao Cai on the road, and arrived in the capital at noon. Seeing that the city gate was ten meters ahead, King Yama patted the soft top of Xiao Zhao County's hair and disappeared into the air.

"Sure enough, they came to escort me." Although I had guessed it a long time ago, at the moment when it was really confirmed, Youshu still felt warm in her heart, and she was touched by indescribable warmth. He climbed onto the wheel, put his hand on the pergola and looked at the towering tower, full of anticipation for this trip.

Maybe the master is inside, and he will be able to see him soon, provided that he is transferred to a senior official who can go to the court to face the saint. It's a slim chance, but it's not all out of the woods. Youshu clenched her fists and looked firm.

After inspecting the road guide and submitting the entrance fee, Youshu and his party were put in. The landlord Lao Cai sincerely invited Xiao Zhao County Commander to live in his house temporarily, and said that the rent in the capital was very expensive, and the most humble courtyard cost seventy or eighty taels of silver a year.

Youshu didn't intend to bother anyone, so she waved her hand and refused. It is very simple for him to rent a cheap house, he only needs to walk around the capital and find those places that are particularly haunted, and ten taels of silver are more than enough to rent for a year.

Where was the landlord Lao Cai willing to let him go, he immediately stepped forward to pull. At this moment, a middle-aged man with a thin body and dark skin slowly ran over. He looked very anxious, but his legs and feet couldn't lift him no matter what, and his body staggered as if he was about to fall down at any time, but ten meters away, he was panting like a cow when he ran close, sweating, and tired.

"Please, please stay! Are you Zhao Youshu? โ€

"Who are you?" Youshu looked at him fixedly, felt very familiar, and immediately rummaged in the memory of "Zhao Youshu", and then suddenly realized. Isn't this the second uncle who robbed "Zhao Youshu" of his family property? Why is it so thin now? I think that when "Zhao Youshu" left Beijing to take office, he still had a big waist and was very strong. Now, only a year and a half have passed, and it has become a human form.

"I'm your second uncle! Youshu, hurry up, go back with the second uncle, there is a banquet waiting for you at home! The man dragged people as he spoke, for fear that the other party would run away.

"Second uncle, long time no see." Youshu has experienced so many ups and downs, and her temper has been much gentler, and she bowed her hand slightly, and she didn't say a word about her past grievances.

The landlord Lao Cai saw that the person who came was really a relative of Xiao Zhao County, so he had to regretfully leave.

The second uncle of Shuguan has a different appearance, and he forces his mental power to take a closer look with his eyes, and he can't help but be shocked. The other party wore a huge shackle around his neck, and his wrists, ankles, and other places were also shackled, like a prisoner. No wonder he was out of breath and tired after walking a few steps.

This is obviously a method used by the king of Yama to deal with the souls of the evil beings, could it be that he came to pick me up today because he was instructed by the king of Yama? Thinking about it this way, Youshu didn't worry that the second uncle was not good for him, so Shi Shiran followed. He did not tell anyone about his return to Beijing to report on his work, and it stands to reason that no one would greet him at the city gate, and he also held a banquet to entertain him, so it can be seen that he had already received the news.

As for where this news came from, it's probably the underworld, right? Anyway, you'll find out when you go.

The two of them walked and stopped, stopped and gasped, and finally arrived at a three-entry courtyard. This was originally the home of "Zhao Youshu", but after his father died, he was occupied by his second uncle, and he was โ–กโ–ก, and he was seriously ill, and he was sent to his hometown in the countryside to be raised, so that he lived a hard life. If it weren't for the kindness of his people who didn't stand by coldly, he would have starved to death.

Looking up at the plaque with the word "Zhao Fu" written on it, even if he hadn't personally experienced the happy and rich childhood of "Zhao Youshu", Youshu also felt embarrassed. He stood at the door and watched for a long time before going in at the urging of the second uncle, and as soon as he bypassed the second gate, he saw a middle-aged woman who was also thin and staggered up to meet him.

Looking at the other party's heavy steps and the painful expression covered with beads of sweat, Youshu didn't need to investigate with mental strength, and she also wore shackles and shackles.

"Nephew, you're finally back. Please come in, there is a banquet in the house, and we will be waiting for you. The woman said eagerly.

Youshu bowed his head and walked in slowly, and saw a young man five or six years older than himself sitting at the table with a pale face. This person is the only sister-in-law in the second room, the cousin-brother Zhao Youcai of "Zhao Youshu". The second room forcibly occupied the property of the big house in order to donate an official property to him.

Before "Zhao Youshu" won the championship in high school, he had donated to the top of the official rank among the five grades, which was considered the highest grade in the official title, and the amount of silver spent was also seventy or eighty thousand. However, the second room is out of a house, there is neither land nor shop to make a living, and life is tight, where can you get tens of thousands of taels of savings? I also know that it must have looted the property of the big house.

At that time, although "Zhao Youshu" was in high school, he only got an errand for the seven-rank county order, and he had no money and connections, so he couldn't fight his cousin who was an official to the fifth grade, so he had to endure humiliation and go to office.

The cousin who used to be high-spirited, but now he is like a defeated rooster, showing a depressed and indignant look, how can you not wonder? He used his mental power to take a look, and saw that the shackles and shackles worn by the other party were bigger and heavier than those worn by his father, and a rough estimate was at least one or two hundred catties. No wonder he was lying on the table with his head and shoulders pulled, it turned out that he didn't deliberately dismount his cousin, but he couldn't walk at all.

Seeing Youshu coming as scheduled, his eyes flickered slightly, and the green tendons on his forehead jumped, as if he was very frightened.

"You really entered the city today." This sentence was very small, but it made Youshu listen to it correctly. Sure enough, someone told them about their journey, and they had to go to meet them.

Imagine, after taking away the property of someone else's family, are you willing to let the other party wander around under your nose, and you must want to get rid of it as soon as possible, right? But this family came to find themselves in a hurry, there was no cat in it, and there was Shu who didn't believe it, and it was linked to the shackles and shackles on their bodies, and it was self-evident who was behind the scenes.

Youshu believed that the other party would not hurt her, so she came defenselessly, and after sitting down, she arched her hand and said, "Cousin, don't come unharmed." โ€

"Just come back, take your family property, and write me a reconciliation letter, forget it, we will never get along." Zhao Youcai got straight to the point.

There are Shu lowering eyes, and the heart is true.
