"Listening to the old gentleman is better than reading for ten years. Xing Zhen stood up and clenched his fists in thanks.

was stopped by Lao Xiucai again: "Don't be so much red tape, waste time and don't say it, when others see it, they think I'm teaching my disciples." ”

Suddenly, Lao Xiucai's heart moved, and he asked rhetorically: "Although I am not talking about the scriptures, I will solve your worries and doubts twice." If you do something in the name of a teacher, you can't count half of your master. ”

Xing Zhen smirked and scratched his head: "The puzzle solver is also a master, and the old gentleman is counted as half a master of the disciple." "

After hearing this, Lao Xiucai laughed, and looked at Xing Zhen's eyes with green light.

The frightened latter inadvertently shrunk his neck, thinking that this teacher is not the other. It refers to a broad sense, not a true name of master and apprentice. Looking back, Lao Xiucai is worthy of being able to apply what he has learned. How can he be favored, and after dispelling the doubts in his heart, he is not afraid.

And Lao Xiucai laughed and said again and again: "Since you are counted as half a disciple, you are not allowed to use life-saving means when we meet today." Thinking about it is unfair to you, you should be given a meeting gift in return. ”

After that, Lao Xiucai took out a handful of soybeans in his arms and handed them to Xingzhen, and comforted: "Don't ignore the alarmist words of the blind Taoist priest, just go to Zhenxi County generously." ”

Gu touched his belly: "This meal is good, every time we meet, you have to break the bank." See me next time for a treat, and invite you to drink. ”

"The words have been brought to the finished business, and you and I have the opposite destination. Little friends don't need to say goodbye, so they say goodbye to all walks of life. ”

Lao Xiucai waved goodbye with his back to Xing Zhen, and muttered to himself: "Occupy the first hand and win half, see what you take to fight with me." ”

Xing Zhen watched Lao Xiu leave, until the figure with a large vermilion wine gourd on his waist gradually disappeared. The young man gathered his thoughts and turned his head to look at the destination town of West County in front of him.

At this time, the city gates were opened, and the crowd that had been waiting for a long time swarmed in. I searched carefully, but I didn't find any trace of the blind Taoist.

Everywhere you go, you must first stamp the customs clearance documents. This is an immutable rule, and when Xingzhen enters Zhenxi County, the first stop is to go to the government.

However, it was said that the large and small government affairs of Zhenxi County were in charge of the prince Lu Jie in the past. Today ushered in a man in a purple python robe, and he was alone without the guards and maids.

The man in the python robe holds the prayer beads in his hand, and when he walks, the Buddha beads roll and chant words in his mouth. He is a Buddhist believer in Yucheng who never forgets to recite Buddhist scriptures silently.

The man walked straight to the back hall of the mansion and saw that Lu Jie had not woken up yet. So he found a chair to sit down and recite the scriptures, and waited quietly for the sleeping person on the bed.

is both a father and a prince, waiting for a son to get up. In a big family with strict etiquette, it is rare and unusual.

Seeing that the situation was not good, some subordinates wanted to step forward and gently arouse Lu Jie. The man in the python robe waved his hand gently, not allowing others to disturb his son's sleep.

In the gauze tent, a man and a woman hugged each other and slept together. The woman slowly opened her hazy sleepy eyes, and called twice without anyone answering. Curiously, he poked his head out of the account, and then retracted his neck like a ghost, and immediately shook Lu Jie beside him.

Just in a hurry, the python-robed man clearly pounced. The woman who just came out was seven or eight points similar to Ling Niangniang in the palace. The woman's movements and mannerisms are even more similar to Ling Niangniang.

The man in the python robe fell into a memory, and he should have led his son Lu Jie into Beijing three years ago. Accompanied by Ling Niangniang that day, Lu Jie fell in love at that time. The emperor's concubine didn't dare to think about it, she must have secretly found such a woman similar to Ling Niangniang after returning to Zhengxi City. Judging by his age, he is more than ten years younger than Ling Niangniang.

After a moment of thought, Lu Jie, who was asleep, was woken up. Through the translucent gauze tent, I can see the situation inside the house.

Facing this father, who has not managed government affairs for nearly 20 years, Lu Jie has not much fear in his heart. Now he is middle-aged, and he has managed Zhengxi City for nearly 20 years. The wings are already full, and there is enough power in the hands.

Moreover, this father who eats fasting and recites Buddha has always been kind and kind-hearted. I don't know if I have forgotten my temper, it's worse than the clay man with three points of anger.

Lu Jie got up lazily and gently patted the slender waist of the woman next to him, and comforted: "It's okay, you are sleeping for a while." ”

He was not in a hurry, got up slowly, put on his nightgown and walked out of bed. first took a sip of herbal tea to moisten his throat, and then walked to the python-robed man's side.

There was no father-son etiquette and no royal etiquette, so he sat casually next to the man in the python robe and asked, "Father, why are you so leisurely today?" ”

The python-robed man Lu Dinglu was one of the only two vassal kings of the Great Lu Dynasty. With a million heroes in hand and a big city alone, no one would have imagined that they would be so despised.

Lu Dinglu himself didn't care about being neglected by his son, and said calmly words that didn't match this morning.

"The 300,000 cavalry commander Yao Jingzhi was punished on the spot because of the corruption of military salaries, and today the cavalry is all taken over by Xu Longda. As for Yao Jingzhi's friends, none of them were also left behind by the Fa. ”

"Peng Qu, the commander of the 500,000 infantry, was punished on the spot for disobeying military orders. His friends attempted to rebel and were also killed. ”

Lu Jie suddenly interrupted and asked: "Impossible, I haven't issued a military order, how can I disobey a military order?"

"Disobeying my orders, isn't it disobeying military orders?" Lu Dinglu said casually, ignoring his son's uncertainties and continuing to tell the story.

"200,000 mechanical guards have been transferred to the border garrison. What is the use of the bed fury heavy weapons soldiers staying at home, they should be sent to the front line to sharpen. Sooner or later, the imperial court will raise troops to expand, and it will be sharpened as soon as possible. ”

"The county warden of Xikui County increased taxes without authorization, and after verification, it was confirmed that it was correct, and the county warden was beheaded. ”

"The county guard Bayan of Bashi County has been reported for withholding disaster relief funds. After being verified and confirmed, he was immediately executed. “

“......”

Lu Dinglu is like a few treasures, without the slightest fireworks, counting the big and small events of the expedition to Xicheng. The rosary in the palm of the hand never stops, maintaining a steady rhythm.

Lu Jie was not calm, and there were huge waves in his heart. Every time he heard an event, he stabbed himself in the chest like a sharp knife.

These beheaded generals or local officials are all Lu Jie's own forces that he has painstakingly managed in the past 20 years.

Overnight, it collapsed, and he went from being in control to being a spectator. Today, for the first time in 20 years, he is facing his father. It was only at this moment that I realized that fasting and reciting Buddha was not a real refuge in Buddhism.

It's forbearance, since it can endure for so long. Is the position of the city lord of Xicheng not wanting to be done by his father or disdainful of doing it? The former is okay, but the latter is a little scary, could it be that my father is thinking about the palace in Longxing City?

Until he heard his father's last words, Lu Jie suddenly realized that he blurted out: "Impossible, the tiger talisman is in my hand, and the official documents of political dignitaries are also in my hand, and others have no right to kill generals and local officials at will." ”

In fact, Lu Jie believed in his heart that what his father said was true, but he couldn't accept the reality for a while. The lame reasons that I found out are a little ridiculous when I think about it.

Sure enough, Lu Dinglu smiled and showed a kind smile. patted Lu Jie on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Silly child, being a father is a tiger talisman and all rights. A python robe for the father is the highest authority, and don't forget that the Western Army was formed for the father. “

Lu Jie's heart was like ashes, and the more calm the man on the other side was, the more chilling it was. How much horror is hidden under the seemingly kind smile?

Lu Jie sat still, stunned and unable to recover for a long time. was woken up by a cold word, and the whole person was cold.

I only heard Lu Dinglu say casually: "The woman on the bed, die." ”

Lu Jie finally understood why his father was here today. And many of the measures were implemented overnight, all because of this woman.

I couldn't help but grit my teeth and look at the bed, wishing that I would immediately come forward and find her name.

Lu Dingpo always smiled, shook his head slowly and said softly: "There is no need to worry about this matter, I didn't come here for my father to be a little girl." It's just a coincidence, you should be glad that few people in Zhengxi City have entered the palace, and no one recognizes Ling Niangniang. Otherwise, not only her life, but even you and my father and son will be in danger. ”

Lu Dinglu rarely showed a trace of expression, looking frightened. Wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, he continued: "I came to punish Zhen, since the Great Lu Dynasty is not allowed to do it. We don't need to do things that are desirable and hurt our own lives. ”

"If you insist on going your own way, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the father to ensure that you are considerate. Therefore, the beheading must be suspended. ”

Just then, there was a knock at the door. A government official came to report: "A young man with a sword came to the government to take a small puppy and stamp the customs clearance documents." The master is delaying, and he asks the city lord to come and decide. ”

When the official said the first half of the sentence, he kept looking at Lu Jie. Obviously, the latter arranged it in advance, and when people with such appearance characteristics came to the government, they must be told in advance.

just said that in the end, he looked at the man in the python robe and Lu Jie, and didn't know who he was the current city lord.

Lu Dinglu pressed Lu Jie's shoulder and said, "You can deal with the woman on the bed for the time being, I'll go and punish you for a while." ”

It was said in a very flat tone, and it seemed to be a negotiating tone. Lu Jie couldn't afford to refute at all, so he nodded blankly and responded: "The child obeys." ”

In the lobby of the mansion, Lu Dingluo carefully looked at one person and one dog. The ancient well between the eyes is as calm as water, and there is no trace of anything unusual.

In Xingzhen's view, it is completely different, the young man is delicate and delicate, and he is better at understanding the subtle changes in people's expressions. I vaguely saw a hint of heat, like a pervert seeing a beautiful woman.

The stamping matter went smoothly, and after a brief cross-examination, the bright red seal jumped on the customs clearance paperwork.

Before leaving, Lu Dinglu had no reason to advise: "The sooner you leave Zhengxi City, the better!"

Of course, the customs clearance documents from Shushui Country to Beiliang have been stamped with large and small red seals. The current one is a brand new one that has just been handled.

After the end, Xingzhen hurriedly left the palace. Although I can see that Lu Dinglu's eyes are full of heat, and I always feel that there is a hint of danger in the heat.

The last sentence left earlier, which made Xingzhen even more confused. I couldn't find a reason, so I had to start with the local county chronicles.

The text formulated by the government must not be able to find the slightest secret. However, through the records of the prefectural records, I can learn about the past of this castle lord.

The so-called nature of the country is easy to change, and some people are like this. No matter how much the present changes, there are bound to be traces of the past in the character.

Another way to find out about this place and the side to inquire about the lord of the city is to look for various rumors in the market. It corroborates each other with the county chronicles, and it can be seen that many county chronicles do not want to record the content.

Xing Zhen deeply realized that the poor family was rich, and the county was good to say. Fixed silver taels, no haggling.

Rumors in the market vary in price, some from the mouth of the storyteller, and some from the beggar to pay for the flowers. The price varies from person to person, and if you want to know more, the more money you will spend, so you can only pinch your nose and admit it.

The punishment is really helpless, and the words of the blind Taoist are vivid. Before finding out the news of Pu Gongling, he will never leave easily.

Now that you have made a decision, you have to be prepared. You can't be blind and let others play with it.
