In this poor and remote place, even a dancing girl is a strange smell, and the old man doesn't want to stay longer for a day......

When he heard that people from Tianhe were urging the conscripts to set off, Hou Shigui was developing a new type of perfume in the craftsman's courtyard.

According to the footsteps, the eunuchs in the palace should have already used their own perfume at this time, and Wang Zhen's letter should have been on the way.

With these eunuchs as intermediaries, Hou Shigui didn't plan to sell them only perfumes.

It's endless, but it's worth a lot of money?

So Hou Shigui wanted to develop a lighter and smelly perfume, and then sell it to the dignitaries in Beijing through the eunuchs.

This is a big business, and it is also a way to immediately fill the vacancy of money in the house.

On this day, he was at a critical moment, and suddenly someone came to report, saying that Master Wang was asking to see him outside the mansion.

After inviting Master Wang in, before he saw him, he heard Master Wang say impatiently:

"Childe, something is wrong, someone from Tianhe said that the eight thousand conscripts in the county should set off immediately, if not, it will be considered a missed date!"

Bao Ji was furious when he heard this, and shouted:

"Isn't there still a three-day deadline?! How can it be considered a miss! This is not to deceive my son! ”

Seeing that this strong man pressed the scabbard with his hand, his tiger eyes were wide open, and his face showed a fierce face, Wang Hou was frightened, and subconsciously took a few steps back:

"This ...... I don't know...... That's what I've heard...... So I came to report to my son. ”

"There's Master Lao Wang."

Hou Shigui put down the bottle and jar in his hand, whispered a few words in Bao Ji's ear, and then said to Wang Hou:

"Hou wants to go to the county government and his party, is Master Wang willing to go along?"

After leaving the Hou Mansion with Hou Shigui, Wang Hou discovered something strange.

Those guards, who were inseparable from Hou Shigui on weekdays, didn't come with them? Why is that?

Hou Shigui's private affairs, he didn't dare to be verbose, only after taking Hou Shigui to the county office, he found that a group of people were watching the excitement outside the county office.

Seeing Hou Shigui, someone shouted:

"Hou Gongzi is here, get out of the way!"

The crowd parted an avenue together, and the people on the left and right sides greeted Hou Shigui one after another, saying:

"I've seen Hou Gongzi."

"Is Hou Gongzi good?"

"Childe will be free later, you might as well come to my house and drink some tea."

Such a spectacle is not something that can be seen every day.

After all, a few months ago, Hou Shigui's name was more feared by the people than the horse bandits who killed people without blinking.

But now...... Wang Hou felt more and more in his heart that this Hou Shigui was unfathomable, and he didn't know what way he could deal with people from Tianhe Mansion?

If it is himself, what can he do to deal with this conscription?

Wang Hou thought about it, but he couldn't understand it.

It wasn't until he entered the county government with Hou Shigui that he heard Hou Shigui say to the officials who came down from Tianhe Mansion:

"Eight thousand conscripts are here, lead the way ahead, and go to Tianhe Mansion."

Eight thousand conscripts are here??

Hearing this, not only Wang Hou, but even Xie Jing was also surprised.

That Zhang Jin had a gloating look.

Only Hou Wenbo knew the plan in his heart, and he didn't say much, just stood quietly and watched.

It was the official of the River Mansion that day, with an angry face:

"You guy, can't tease this official?!"

Hou Shigui raised his eyes and saw that this official was seven feet long, with a face like a heavy jujube, silkworm eyebrows and phoenix eyes, it should be Cao Wei Chiyi of Hefu that day.

actually sent a household Cao to urge, it seems that if you don't take me, Hefu Jun can't eat that day:

"How dare the grass people tease Hu Cao? To tell you the truth, my 8,000 conscripts are on their way, and in a few days, they will reach Tianhe.

If Tocao doesn't believe me, I can go to Tianhe with Tocao, and if I can't be served, I will be punished for the crime of missing my time. ”

What's going on? Could it be that he did not send letters to his father to speak in His Majesty's ear, but to have his father send a servant over him?

But how did his father come up with 8,000 servants, today, except for Your Majesty, who can gather 8,000 people to rush to Xiling day and night in one night? ?

Xie Jing couldn't figure it out here, and the others were also confused.

Only Hou Wenbo pulled Hou Shigui aside and said in a serious tone:

"Brother, why did you do this?"

Hou Shigui only told him what he was going to do, but he didn't say why he did it.

This is also why Hou Shigui doesn't want his family to worry too much, after all, being spurned by civil and military officials has already made them frightened, not to mention that there are still princes and great Confucian Lin elders in Tianhe Mansion who want to bring down the Hou family?

"The second brother should not panic, the younger brother has his own countermeasures."

Seeing that Ah Di still didn't want to tell him, Hou Wenbo sighed and didn't say anything, but he felt that it was strange in his heart.

In the past, when the younger brother made mistakes, he always cleaned up the mess for him.

's father grew up in Beijing again, and he can be said to be used to being both an elder brother and a father.

But in the past few months, Ah Di has not only not made mistakes.

All the big and small things in the house are all controlled, and they also attract the gratitude of the whole county.

Although I am happy for my brother, I am still a little unaccustomed to it.

It's as if your child was playing in the mud the day before, and the next day he came to discuss the world with his hands behind his back and his long beard......

Such a contrast, Hou Wenbo is really a little difficult to accept.

Look at Ah Di again, he has left with Hu Cao.

Hou Shigui was 'taken' by someone from Tianhe Mansion and taken to Tianhe, which caused a stir in Linben.

On the one hand, the people were grateful to Hou Shigui for saving him from the disaster of forced labor and replacing him.

That sentence: Eight thousand conscripts are here!

It was sung by the children in the county and became a hero's words.

On the other hand, he was annoyed that the persecution in Tianhe Mansion was too much, and he didn't say anything about arresting people before the deadline expired.

Knowing that Linben suffered a misfortune, he also gave Linben a share of 8,000 forced labor, isn't this bullying.

They are just ordinary people, but they don't know about the discord between the new Ministry of Industry Secretary Wailang and Hou Shigui, and they think that the county is weak and incompetent, and they are bullied on their heads, and they have to rely on Hou Shigui to turn the tide.

Therefore, on the westbound official road, the people in the county spontaneously sent each other, and there were so many people who came that they couldn't see the end at a glance.

Isn't this Hou Shigui full of evil and doing all kinds of evil? How could so many come to him?

Isn't the rumor wrong?

Seeing this scene, Wei Chiyi was full of suspicions, fearing that the bold man would take the lead and make trouble, so that the people around him were optimistic about Hou Shigui, so he went all the way west without stopping.

This is the first time Hou Shigui has come to this world.

Fang traveled for two days, there were many pedestrians on the road, climbed a height, and saw a towering city in front of him.

The city wall is towering into the sky, and the flags are displayed on the wall, and the armor soldiers can be faintly seen.

From time to time outside the city, horses galloped past three or five light horses, all carrying short bows and two armors, which should be border troops.

Some of the shepherds who were grazing outside the city saw these light horses and hurried away, as if they had seen the king of Hades.

However, when the merchants on the official road saw these border troops, instead of being afraid, they shouted loudly:

"I want to go out of the customs to make a living, I don't know how much money the military master can protect me?"

The light horsemen also replied in a loud voice:

"According to the custom, ten taels of silver will protect you to the bank of the Juyan River."

This is the Xixiong City of Dachu Town: Tianhe.
