Officials are about to retire in old age, and it is not uncommon for them to take advantage of the power in their hands to make a last profit, to retire in abundance and peace, and to make things that are not guaranteed in the old age. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhang Guxue has been an official for a few years in his old age, but he specializes in stupid things that harm his own interests and even his fate.

He knows that his strength is meager, under the obvious fundamental premise of the emperor's mediocrity and wanton corruption, the traitors and ministers firmly control the government, and he is an inconspicuous middle-level official in the capital who is powerless to change the unstoppable overall trend of degeneration and corruption in the imperial court. If you offend a traitor, you will inevitably encounter retaliation, and you will be dismissed and go back to your hometown to farm, which will save you from being an official.

He had asked his family to pack up for the ferocious revenge that could come at any moment.

His old wife smiled and said, "Although the capital is good, it is also boring." Returning to his hometown to cultivate and feed himself, although he is poor, he is at ease. ”

There is no word of complaining about her husband's rigidity and stubbornness, and he will not be an official, and he has no regrets in his life.

The relationship between the two is not generally good, they are honest and self-controlled, and they really love each other, which is the biggest harvest and happiness of Zhang Guxue's life.

Zhang Guxue himself was also very confident that the traitors would not be able to cure him of serious crimes, and he and his family would not be killed without violent assassination and other means.

I have been honest and honest all my life, only one wife, not close to other women, no major faults in official affairs or private morality, no stains, traitors just want to take the handle and can't hold it, I am not rare to be an official, what can the traitor do with this method of picking bones in the egg?

However, he also knew that the Chaogang chaotic ** thief was ruthless and shameless, and he planned for the worst, but he was not afraid or regretted.

The whole family was preparing to go into the abyss, but they learned that they were demoted to Qingzhou as a small intellectual.

As soon as the old man heard this, as a Beijing official of the Ministry of Officials, he knew that Qingzhou was the elder brother of the noble concubine Niangniang, who went to be a Taishou and planned to make money but accidentally fell into a bad place surrounded by robbers, and learned about the sinister environment of Qingfeng Village, a small military village.

He can be a middle and high school scholar in the imperial examination, and he can climb up to the five-grade official in the early stage of Zhao Ji's reign in the early stage of Zhao Ji's relatively clear rule, he is not a fool, and immediately recognized Zhang Bangchang's evil intentions, but instead he sneered and was happy, and the original plan to unswervingly abandon the official and go home to be an old farmer was abandoned.

What the old man thought was: The traitors brought disaster to the country and the people, so they forced the people to fall into the grass. The old man carried the head of the whole family to Qingfeng Village to be a good official, although the power position is low, and the scope of influence is small, but the justice and love of the people must always return the people to Qingping.

It is still a little bit of persistence to be able to do a little for the country and the people.

His old wife smiled and said, "Marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog." It is said that it is not separated from the stone. Where the master goes, the concubine will naturally go. It's just that behind his back, he hugged the little girl who was only a few years old and sighed and muttered: "It's just that this poor child is afraid that he will die under the thief's knife, and his life is just beginning to die." ”

The old couple originally had a son, with outstanding character and intelligence, and they also became an official in the Jinshi, but unfortunately died of a serious illness in office, and they didn't have time to see their parents and relatives for the last time, and they didn't stay in the family, which hit the simple and happy couple a lot.

In order not to let the old Zhang family die, the old official did not accept concubines, and the old couple worked very hard, but they gave birth to this old daughter, and they were a little disappointed but regarded them as treasures.

But there is too much helplessness in life. If you are born in this family, you will share the fate of happiness.

If it's unfortunate. The whole family died together, and the son who died early reunited in the underworld, and the family reunion is not a kind of happiness.

The old lady resolutely took the little girl and the old man to the land of death to take office, but she didn't know that she had made the most important choice for the old man.

At that time, the Zhengzhi Village of the original Qingfeng Village was afraid of thieves and death, so he tried his best to transfer away from this dangerous place. Others were reluctant to take over, resulting in the vacancy of Zhengzhizhai's seat for nearly a month. Hua Rong himself had the final say, and took advantage of this gap to get away the soldiers and civilians of the original village, and managed to immigrate the suitable people in the town, and the rest of the three types of people who were stuck to the local area and wanted to enter the village safely were accepted and moved in.

Zhang Guxue's family came to office with a tragic feeling.

Hua Rong was instructed by Zhao Gonglian to personally lead the cavalry to the Qingzhou border to pick up this family and escort it to the stockade, so as not to be killed by the bandits before the old official took office.

For this old Beijing official who learned from Zhao Gonglian that the Confucianism was more serious and was killed and demoted, Hua Rong didn't know if he was good at getting along at that time, and he didn't know if he could cooperate so that he could successfully complete Zhao Yue's Qingzhou plan.

From the exchange on the way to the village escort all the way, Hua Rong deeply realized that the old man's loyalty to the court and his rigidity were more serious, and it was estimated that he was enough.

Who knows, after settling down, the old man saw the dilapidated Qingfeng Town, where no one lived permanently and only pedestrians passed by, and saw that the old households on the household registration list of the village did not match the existing population, but he didn't ask anything, and sighed to Hua Rong and said: "The government has the support of the people, and it is also the responsibility to protect the people, but it can't protect the people, but it forces many people to be thieves." The military households in the village, you let it go, it's not your fault, it's that Murong Yande is guilty of guarding it, and it's too dangerous to make this Qingfeng Town and the village. It's not wrong for people to flee, they should be. ”

Hua Rong intimately felt the integrity and kindness of this old official in his stubbornness and corruption, and he was a lot closer to him at that time.

What he never expected was that the old official, who was said to be dogmatic and rigid, immediately said: "The situation here is sinister, and you and I alone are powerless to change it, no matter how much we have the heart." Qingfeng Village is both a military village and a special environment, you and I don't want to talk about who is the right and who is the deputy, and what kind of bloody internal friction of civil and military disputes. Here is mainly you, money, food, soldiers and other account books are kept by the old man according to the rules, but the physical goods have been moved to your Nanzhai, and you will keep them in the future, and the income can be used to report to me. ”

In Hua Rong's stunned campaign, the old officer smiled gently and kindly: "General Hua, you are the son of a meritorious hero after the general." The old man can see that you are a good boy with responsibility, enthusiasm and thought. The old man is rigid, but he doesn't really know how to be flexible. As long as it's good for the people, you can do it. The old man will cooperate with you and do his best to deal with the things that you are not good at or have no time to take care of. Let us, the old and the young, work together to try our best to create a world of people living in this chaotic place, and not to be in vain. ”

"I do it with confidence. If there is something, the official will bear it. The old man said this categorically.

Hua Rong was confused by the old official at that time.

He really couldn't guess whether he went to meet and protect this family, and the disheartened old official was grateful to return the favor like this, or whether he knew the danger and thought about the life of the family, and knew that he had to fully support and rely on him as a martial artist to survive here and had to let go of power.

But no matter what, Zhao Gonglian privately asked him to protect, respect and treat the old official's family well, and it seems that he is doing the right thing now.

Hua Rong said at the time: "Please rest assured. Qingfeng Village has a young general, and the safety of the adult family and the people of the village is guaranteed. ”

The old official is stubborn, but his reaction is to do what he says.

In the days that followed, the old official worked hard to manage the villagers, grasp production, and demolish the ready-made wood on the houses in the town nearby to repair, strengthen and build the houses in the village, so that those who already live here can be more comfortable and at ease, and the new households who have come to the village can also have a home, and he has worked tirelessly to personally lead people to build the castle in the mountain pass......

In short, what he did was all about people's livelihood and cooperation, and Hua Rong was in charge, and the old official did not interfere at all, but only saw the shortcomings and provided some suggestions.

Hua Rong continued to place those landlord bullies and Diao Han in Beizhai, where the old official was located, and the old official was not angry and disgusted, but agreed: "These things are not good stubble, love to make things, so I will hand them over to the old man to manage and rectify." The old man's decades of official career is not in vain, so it is not a problem to clean up these things. General Hua's Nanzhai is honest, quiet and stable, so that you can do a good job in the military with peace of mind. ”

Hua Rong gradually recognized the upright conduct of the old official's family in vigilance, and recognized the old official from the heart.

Hua Rong chivalrous, never owes favors, repays the old official, from the hundred cavalry elites sent by Cangzhao to assist him, he specially selected the shrewd and brave 20 cavalry manpower to protect the old official's house, support the old official's authority in managing the bully and gangsters, and arrange the elm pimple soldiers to strengthen the management of Beizhai, and provide rich security in life.

You have affection, I have righteousness. This old and young, one literate and one martial, the more they get along, the more harmonious and tacit the relationship becomes, and the relationship is fast and deep.

Hua Rong can feel that the old official and the loving old lady are treating him as a son, and they especially like to be close to him and his wife, and always like to invite the couple to come to the house as guests.

The old lady always praised Hua Rong for being a good boy who was good-looking, upright and capable, and the Hua family had a future; Praise Hua Gongren is not only beautiful and virtuous, the little couple is a good match made by heaven, they are blessed and should be blessed by God, a pair of beautiful people, always go down to the kitchen to make a few dishes she is good at, Hua Rong and his family love to eat. The old couple is spoiling and conniving Hua Rong's two sons, and with their decades of rich life experience and officialdom training, they are not unaware of some abnormalities in Hua Rong's behavior. But he never asked.

This may be the old couple looking for solace in him Hua Rong for the loss of their precious son, or it may be that they are alive and well, and still adhere to the integrity of their lives, and are still loyal to the court, but they have changed their rigid nature and insisted on some official principles, and let Hua Rong do those things that do not conform to the rules of the court but are harmless to the people.

Hua Rong's mother died early, his father was far away at the border, and he was also killed when he was a teenager, and he had no relatives and elders to care for him. The old official and his wife treated him like this, which invisibly warmed Hua Rong's heart, and to some extent made up for Hua Rong's regret of lack of care from his elders. Hua Rong does not resist this kind of intimate relationship that is close to the love of parents and relatives.

As a result, the two families got along closer, as if they were really blood relatives. This time has been happy and happy, and it is indeed an unexpected gain.

With the indulgence and cooperation of the old official, Hua Rong successfully completed Zhao Yue's plan for Qingfeng Village.

I have to mention that during this period, the uncle and nephew of the Zhu family, who fell into the grass in Peach Blossom Mountain, indirectly helped Hua Rong a lot while harming the Quartet.

Among the three strong forces in Qingzhou,

Erlongshan Chao Gai, when Zhao Yue made trouble with the bandit army last time, he asked to take care of the safety of Qingfeng Village. Chao Gai is a good man who will repay his kindness. Zhao Yue not only helped him gain a foothold in the dangerous Erlong Mountain, but also helped other favors, so that Erlong Mountain could have a clear and definite plan and development, so that it has a stable and prosperous foundation today. Chao Gai naturally wanted to reciprocate, not only did he promise Zhao Yue's small request, but although he was curious about the relationship between Zhao Yue and Hua Rong, he didn't ask anything, and strictly forbade his subordinates to harass and loot the area around Qingfeng Town.

Qingfeng Mountain, Jinmao, Hu Yanshun, and the three of them were warned by Erlong Mountain that Qingfeng Village was a dish of Erlong Mountain, and they were afraid of the courage of Huarong, and they did not dare to attack.

Only the Zhu clan of Taohuashan did not take the small Qingfeng Zhai forces in their eyes.

Especially the crazy Zhu Biao is conceited, very good at archery, and sneers at the name of Hua Rong's Xiao Li Guang.

The three Zhu brothers were called Zhu's Sanjie instead of Sangou when they were in Zhujiazhuang, because although the family was rich, they were not Gao Yu's godson Gao Qiang, who could only be a straw bale and a child, and he had the ability and knew how to work hard.

Since provoked Zhao Yue's Liangshan forces were broken and fled in a hurry to embark on the road of anti-thieves, the three brothers of the Zhu family hated Cangzhao to the core, and did not want to retaliate for a day, and also took that fiasco as a great shame, and deeply realized that his conceited ability in the past was actually not helpful, and he was far from the real strong, and even the shrimp soldiers and crabs who guarded Liangshan Shuibo in Cangzhao Town could not be beaten, and the fate of fighting with real masters can be imagined.

They experienced an abrupt and heavy blow, and after the change of identity, they did not lose heart and sink willingly, but began to work hard to strengthen their skills when they settled down in Peach Blossom Mountain. With an uncle with strong martial arts, Zhu Wannian tried his best to give guidance, and he also improved quickly.

Zhu Biao feels that he is no longer what he used to be, he is a real master, Wen Huarong's courage is not afraid, but he has the heart of competition.

Moreover, Qingfeng Village is blocked between Peach Blossom Mountain and Qingzhou Mansion, although it is dozens of miles away from Peach Blossom Mountain, it has little impact on the interests of Peach Blossom Mountain, but the three tigers of Qingfeng Mountain are close to Qingfeng Village and are obviously contained, and they should be the most hateful to Hua Rong, but the four uncles and nephews of the Zhu family still have a strong desire to get rid of Qingfeng Village.

Qingzhou County can't stop us from wantonly attacking and looting, the brave soldiers of Qingzhou Mansion can't help us, and they have not dared to attack Peach Blossom Mountain, you little military village dares to stab us in the middle to deter us, what kind of thing is this?

Is it really the name of Xiao Li Guang that can suppress everyone?

Is it true that I wish the heroes of the family will be afraid of your Hua Rong's marksmanship and bow and arrows?

If you don't get rid of it, your heart will not be happy, and you will be panicked.

A small village guarded by hundreds of rotten soldiers, see how my Taohuashan people and horses are calming you in one go, and let the world know how powerful my children are in Zhu's family.

Zhu Biao was the most earnest, and he was determined to compete with Hua Rong to see who was the master of marksmanship and bow and arrow, and volunteered to destroy it.

However, although Zhu Wannian is only in his early thirties, he is very old and spicy and calm, saying that Hua Rong's magic arrow must have some real skills even if it is a false name, and he must not be careless to fight the enemy.

He didn't pay attention to Hua Rong's skills other than bows and arrows, but for the sake of prudence, he asked Zhu Long, the eldest of the three brothers, who was brave and martial, and the Mountain Shaking God King who was nesting under his subordinates at that time to assist Zhu Biao, and sent two thousand bandits to help in the battle. He himself and Zhu Hu guarded the cottage to prevent the officers and soldiers from taking the opportunity to attack. (To be continued.) )
