Chapter 105: The Desire of the People

Liu Nantian, the prefect of Qingzhou, looks at the entire Qingzhou City, no one knows, no one knows. Even the young children know that the prefect of Liu loves the people like a son and is dedicated to Qingzhou, and has refused to be promoted three times, and the current emperor has given a special reward as the "cornerstone" in recognition of his contribution to Qingzhou.

Although Wen Ziqi has not been in Qingzhou for a long time, he has heard a lot of deeds about Liu Zhifu, just the deeds of singing merits and virtues, I am afraid that it will not be repeated overnight, so when I heard Nangong Feifei say this, I couldn't help but be stunned.

Then he opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Governor Liu, the people have a good reputation, you make accusations like this, be careful that the wall has ears." ”

The late-night wind blew across the river, carrying a trace of moisture and hitting the face.

Nangong Feifei stroked her hair and said with a slight smile: "The hustle and bustle is all for profit, and the three refusals are promoted, do you think it's just because of nostalgia for your homeland, it's hard to give up your relatives?" ”

It is human nature that it is difficult to leave the homeland. However, those who are officials must be sent by the emperor's orders, so they often have to go to the next place as soon as their term of office expires.

Another implication of such frequent transfers is to prevent officials from forming cliques to exclude dissidents. People are nothing more than courtesy, so if you stay in one place for a long time, you will naturally have three friends and four friends.

It is indeed rare for someone like Liu Nantian to stay in his hometown and serve. In order to prevent its roots from becoming deeper, the imperial court also issued an order to transfer it, but it was not transferred. The reason is that one hundred and eight shops in Qingzhou jointly wrote to the imperial court to retain them.

This kind of thing is not without precedent, but what I have encountered before is nothing more than a small range of relatives, friends, and subordinate protΓ©gΓ©s. It's really never been encountered like this.

The imperial court saw that he was deeply popular with the people, and there was no good replacement candidate for a while, so he had to be specially approved to stay here for re-election. It was not until the end of the second term that the court realized that it had made the right decision.

After Liu Nantian's two terms of governance, Qingzhou City has transformed from a small border town to a rising star. The imperial court saw that his political achievements were remarkable, and the people were rich, and even the taxes paid to the national treasury were overpaid. A promotion order wanted to transfer Liu Nantian to the household department of the three provinces and six departments in charge of the capital, but this time the imperial court received a joint request from more than 300 merchants.

The dispatch of officials is nothing more than to benefit the neighbors, since everything in Qingzhou is among the best, and the officials and the people are united, this is exactly what the royal family wants to see, so it will be done again and let him continue to serve in Qingzhou.

This term was another four years, until the end of this term, the imperial court ordered a transfer, and when the eunuchs and officials came to Qingzhou, they were moved by the scene they saw. The official road was full of people on both sides, stretching for dozens of miles, and there were as many as 10,000 people, all of whom burst into tears.

In this case, even the emperor felt that if he insisted on transferring away, it might hurt the face of the court. He specially named this Liu prefect as the "cornerstone" of Qingzhou.

"The homeland is hard to leave," Qin Keqing frowned, and said in a solemn tone: "Qingzhou is located in the northern border of the Zhou Kingdom, bordering Mobei, although it is not as prosperous as the capital, but it has a unique geographical advantage, and it is not an exaggeration to call it fat!" ”

Nangong Feifei nodded slightly to show her appreciation for Qin Keqing's statement, and then added: "It's a big piece of fat!" ”

As he spoke, he saw Xiao Lu leading two maids with food boxes in their hands, glanced at the old man standing next to him, and stepped forward to salute: "Miss, I'm ready to make the peach blossom crisp!" ”

Nangong Feifei nodded slightly, thought for a while, and then instructed the old man, "You bring a box back." ”

"Me?" The old man couldn't believe it, so he hesitated for a moment, but still reached out and took the food box and thanked him: "Thank you, Miss!" ”

"It's not for you to eat," Nangong Feifei glanced at the old man, and still said coldly: "It's for your little granddaughter." ”

The old man was shocked when he heard this, and a cold sweat broke out on his spine. What Nangong Feifei said is indeed right, he has a little granddaughter, but he has always lived in the countryside, and he just received him yesterday.

At this time, he suddenly heard that Yan Neng was not surprised, and quickly knelt down and said, "Thank you, Miss!" ”

"There is no need for a box of dim sum like this," Nangong Feifei waved her hand and said lightly: "Go back early and enjoy the joy of family, after all, the blessing of children and grandchildren around the knee is not something that everyone can enjoy." ”

The old man got up and slowly retreated, and when he was leaving, he couldn't help but look at Wen Ziqi who was standing aside.

Nangong Feifei glanced at the old man's actions, and immediately raised her eyebrows, and said in a solemn tone: "Tao Bo, have you seen him?" ”

The old man surnamed Tao, who was leaving, hurriedly turned around and said, "There was a relationship. ”

"One-sided relationship?" Qin Keqing was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Wen Ziqi suspiciously.

Tao Bo is one of Fei Fei's five sons, she and Fei Fei are not sisters, they are better than sisters, so they naturally know what this Tao Bo does, and now how can they not be shocked when they hear Tao Bo say that they have seen him.

It turned out that this Tao Bo was a turtle male. What is the turtle man, is the coolie who waits in the brothel of the Qinglou. Handymen who serve tea and pour water, sweep the floor and remove dust. He said that he had seen Wen Ziqi, presumably he must have met it in Fengyue Place, and he didn't expect him to lie about this kind of thing.

He frowned and asked coldly, "Where did you see him?" ”

"Xinjia Village," the old man surnamed Tao bowed back and replied, "The hometown of the subordinates!" ”

Xinjia Village, a small village under Yukun Mountain, the first place Wen Ziqi went to after going down the mountain, and it was also the place where he got acquainted with You Fang Langzhong, so that he could get a new identity to enter Yichun Hall. At this time, when he heard the old man surnamed Tao mention it, he suddenly felt uneasy.

"Okay, I know," Nangong Feifei waved her hand impatiently and said, "You can step down." ”

Seeing the old man surnamed Tao leaving, Nangong Feifei glanced at Wen Ziqi, who had an iron-faced face, and said, "Wow, it seems that Brother Wen is murderous again!" ”

"Sister Feifei," Qin Keqing hurriedly shook her head and said, "Be cautious in your words and deeds, you forgot!" ”

"Say I'm careful," Wen Ziqi blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "You two also hold grudges!" Then he walked over to the table, picked up a piece of snack, and ate it himself.

"Xinjia Village," Qin Keqing frowned, and asked lightly, "What are you going to do there?" ”

As soon as the words came out, Qin Keqing regretted it, but if he said it, the water that was spilled out, it was not easy to recycle it. If she is not curious, it is impossible, and it gives her the feeling that this person is still in the fog, even if it is.

Wen Ziqi was surprised, but he just reached out to wipe the residue from the corner of his mouth, and said with a faint smile: "Going there for two things, and two choices!" ”

"Wait a minute," Nangong Feifei stretched out her hand to cut off Wen Ziqi, who was about to continue, and ordered Xiao Lu and the maid: "There is nothing for you to do here, you go down first." ”

The three of them nodded their heads and agreed, and the money was returned.

After the three of them left, Nangong Feifei looked at the night and said with a smile: "It's late autumn, and the weather is a little cold, why don't we go inside?" ”

Qin Keqing nodded slightly, and responded: "Listening to Sister Feifei say this, it seems that it is really a little cold, let's hurry in!" ”

Seeing that both of them agreed, Wen Ziqi naturally did not raise any objections, and nodded his head.

The veil hung low, hazy, the red candle shook slightly, the three of them sat down at will, regardless of priority, Nangong Feifei picked up the cup on the table and poured a cup of tea and handed it to Wen Ziqi.

Wen Ziqi thanked him softly, took a sip and said slowly: "You only know Xinjia Village, but you don't know that there is a mountain called Yukun Mountain not far from it. ”

"Yukun Mountain, stretching for hundreds of miles, is like a giant dragon lying on the ground, and the top of the mountain is surrounded by white clouds all year round like a fairyland." Nangong Feifei's eyes flashed, and she said yearningly: "And I heard that there is a "Hundred Flowers Palace" on it. ”

Wen Ziqi was stunned when he heard this, and said secretly in his heart: "Seeing that she is so excited, don't you want to go to the master to apprentice!" ”

Before he could think about it, he heard Qin Keqing next to him quip: "Of course Fei Fei knows about Yukun Mountain, she should still be half a disciple of the Hundred Flowers Palace!" ”

"Half?" Wen Ziqi paused, gently turned the teacup with his fingertips, and said with a smile: "How did this half come about, I'm very interested in hearing it!" ”

"It's better for Feifei to say it herself," Qin Keqing's eyebrows moved, and his eyes flashed brightly: "I said it's a bit ridiculous!" ”

"Sanying and Sixiu, I don't know if Brother Wen has heard of it?" Nangong Feifei asked seriously.

Three British and four shows, how many people in the rivers and lakes have not heard of it now, one by one.

"It's just that I've heard it, my ears are almost calloused," Wen Ziqi said helplessly: "Since I met Huang Zhutou, he has been talking from time to time!" ”

Wen Ziqi's words are true, his ears are almost calloused, but it was not Huang Zhutou who said it, but his sister Ling Kunzi said it.

"Yellow Catcher?" Qin Keqing was stunned when he heard this, and muttered, "How could he know this?" ”

Wen Ziqi shook his head slightly, and said with a blank expression: "I don't know about this, but according to what he said, when he was young, he once dreamed of being a chivalrous man and wandered the rivers and lakes, I guess I heard about it at that time." ”

"It's possible," Nangong Feifei nodded suddenly and said: "After all, they are about the same age as Huang Zhutou, and the years that Huang Zhutou has been in the rivers and lakes are also the time when Sanying and Sixiu first broke into the rivers and lakes." ”

Wen Ziqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and finally covered up the matter. Then he smiled and asked, "Sister Feifei, look at you are only eight years old, how do you get to know them!" ”

Nangong Feifei smiled and said: "If you talk about this matter in detail, I'm afraid it will be difficult to say it clearly for a while, simply put, it is the word fate!" ”

Fate, all inexplicable things, can be covered by these two words.

When Qin Keqing heard Nangong Feifei's answer, she snorted and said with a smile: "Sister Feifei, is this afraid that your Brother Wen will see a joke or something, and fate!" ”

Nangong Feifei stuck out her tongue with a slightly embarrassed expression, and said aggrievedly: "After all, it's not a glorious experience!" ”
