Chapter Ninety-Three: Yingchuan Officialdom Is Suspicious
The county lieutenant who didn't walk a few steps saw more than ten horses coming from the direction of the city gate, and his professional habits subconsciously felt that the city gate was closed at this time, how could anyone still come, and he was not a person from the shogunate, so he quickly hid aside, and more than a dozen people rode by, but it was the lieutenant who went straight to the small village with the men and horses.
The county lieutenant wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. It's so dangerous, it's just a little bit away. Someone must have leaked the news. Sooner or later. Cautiously returned to the city.
Back at the county office, sweating profusely reported this matter to Wang Zhongping, and the county order was taken aback: "I found it so quickly?" Caught or not? ”
The county lieutenant shook his head: "No, I guess I'm going far." I wiped all the rut marks and couldn't find them. ”
Wang Zhongping looked at the county lieutenant who was as tired as a dog, wiping the sweat on his forehead, and felt a little unbearable in his heart. Maybe what's going on, can this kid handle it? Forget it, let's see his creation.
The county lieutenant went home, and went to sleep in a worried dress, but his wife teased him, but he was slapped out, and he could only go to sleep in another room crying.
Not long after the county lieutenant fell asleep, he was woken up by several slaps. I opened my eyes in astonishment and thought to myself, this girl is against the sky? When I looked at it, it was Lord Captain with a murderous face. A spirited sat up: "Your Excellency......"
Du Wei pulled out his long sword and pressed it against his heart, and said viciously: "Where is Li Guangli, say it quickly." ”
The county lieutenant said in a panic: "I don't know, I really don't know, my lord." The lieutenant said angrily: "Take it away, ...... quickly"
Many times, the words and actions of the people at the top, intentionally or unintentionally, are magnified countless times in the eyes of the people below, so it is difficult to estimate the behavior of the guide. Therefore, Wei Qing expressed his stance in front of his subordinates many times, and never revealed his views on various forces. It's kind of cautious. If he knew that the officials up and down Yingchuan were as anxious as ants on a hot pot under his invisible pressure, he would probably not be able to cry or laugh.
Gao Tianbao is still messing around Huo Quai, there is no way, Qiu Ping and Wan Ziyu have a good relationship, their identities are equivalent, they live in the same room to engage in the base, if Brother Bao doesn't stay with Huo Quai, he can only play with those Huns who can't speak Chinese, those laymen, talk about how to ride a horse, how to sleep with a woman, how to sleep on a horse, and how to sleep on a horse, the little virgin sounds a little embarrassed.
Huo Qubing wanted to ask for leave to go out, but Wei Qing glared at him and was intimidated, so he could only ask Gao Tianbao to buy some fine wine and dried meat or something. came back and pretended to hold a handful of five-baht coins to return to Huo Quai. Where can our little gentleman see this little bit of loose money. Too lazy to figure it out, he waved his hand and asked Gao Tianbao to put it away by himself. Gao Tianbao was very happy, if this good thing happened in three days, it wouldn't take long to make a fortune.
After two sips of wine, Huo Qu said sullenly: "I beat and scolded, I scolded, what else do I want, this is inexplicable, I don't say where to go." ”
Gao Tianbao said while counting the five baht coins: "Maybe it's going to find the eldest lady, it should be, and I'm not sure about my humble position."
Huo Quzhi raised his eyes of hope: "Really? ”
Gao Tianbao said: "Originally, the general said that I would rest for two days, wait for the general to prepare gifts for the young lady and bring them over, and then bring some guards to strengthen the young lady's defense, but after a while, he personally led people to set off." I guess there's something urgent to find the eldest lady. ”
Huo Quzhi said strangely: "What can be the urgency?" (Anyway, didn't he know that Xue Qing was pregnant?) Forgot what you said? Or is the reaction half a beat slow? )
Gao Tianbao was interrupted by Huo Quai's illness when he counted, so he could only count from the beginning, but fortunately, counting the money was a very happy thing: "Who knows, if the general doesn't say it, we don't know." But this route is obviously to go to ......"
Huo Quzhi raised his eyebrows: "Where to go?" ……”
Gao Tianbao swallowed the second half and became: "Go to the toilet." Will the general go? ”
Huo Quzhi turned his head and ignored him, no matter what, anyway, it was good to go to Xue Qing, in fact, Huo Quzhi had been making trouble to find Xue Qing, and he let him see it, but he really didn't know what to say, this is so strange, Xiao Huo was inexplicably worried, what if Xue Qing still ignored herself.
People can see others, they can't see themselves, in Huo Quzhi's view, he didn't do anything wrong, and he didn't feel how dead he was. Huo Quzhi faintly felt that something was wrong, but his self-dissection was so bloody, Huo Quzhi was unwilling to dissect himself too deeply.
Early the next morning, the troops began to assemble, and as soon as the city gate was opened, they walked away through the east gate. The local officials who got the news rushed to see them off before they had time to wash their faces. Wei Qing nodded slightly, and rode away.
Five hundred cavalry galloped away, kicking up a cloud of dust. Taishou muttered in his heart, what kind of trouble is this general going to make, why is he leaving? Could it be that Li Guangli has been quietly solved? Or are people not here for Li Guangli at all?
The lieutenant couldn't hold back: "Why did the general leave?" That's it? ”
Too secretive: "It's over, even if it's not over, it's over." That's it, but hopefully never again. ”
The lieutenant was embarrassed: "But I still have the county lieutenant there, the kid has not let go, and he has been beaten half to death, how can I get this?" Or do you want to kill it? ”
Taishou shook his head: "You're crazy, that's a colleague, you don't want to die?" Hurry up and put it away. ”
Du Wei was a little unwilling: "Just let it go?" Taishou didn't see what he was beaten into, can he give up? It's better to kill quietly. ”
Taishou shook his head worriedly: "No, don't make any more extraneous branches." Give him five hundred gold, and make it clear to him what is at stake. Don't let anything happen again. ”
Taishou covered his mouth and nose and left. Du Wei scolded at the back of the Taishou: "Damn, five hundred gold, you won't let me give it?" It's called something. ”
The county commander Wang Zhongping Yuyu returned to the county office alone, and lowered his head all the way, like a goose. I have no ideas, who can withstand these three or four headless frightes.
When they arrived at the gate of the county office, the messenger came over and whispered a few words. The county magistrate hurriedly ran in, and saw the county lieutenant lying on the couch dying in the side courtyard, looking at the shocking whip marks on his weak face, Wang Zhongping came down with tears in his eyes. Whimpered: "Brother, I can't stand you." ”
The county lieutenant looked at Wang Zhongping with a strange look in his eyes, and asked in a weak and hoarse voice, "Do you know that the lieutenant took me away?" ”
Wang Zhongping was stunned, but he still told the truth: "I know, as soon as you come back, I know that he will definitely not give up......"
The lieutenant turned his head away and said no more.
Wang Zhongping sighed faintly. He stood in front of the couch for a while. He also turned around and walked away.
Huo Qubing never knew that he was so successful that day, but he had caused turmoil in the entire Yingchuan officialdom for so long.
