"The lower officials don't dare, don't dare to ......" Zhang Fa slowly raised his head, secretly glad in his heart, thanks to listening to the master's words, he didn't open the city gate to greet him, if he really did this, he was afraid that he would not be able to escape.

But what Li Mu just said still didn't make him taste it, what kind of mind did this Hou Ye have, was he happy or angry? He racked his brains to think, did Li Mu offend him when he was living in Mayi? But no matter how you think about it, there is no such person as Li Mu in his mind, and he can't be blamed for it, he is the county lord here, a pariah who lives in the outer city, and he can only see the hell if he has an impression.

Zhang Fa slowly raised his head, and the first thing he saw was not Li Mu, but Jin Chen standing next to him. After just one glance, he was shocked in his heart, and then he was amazed, worthy of the Hou Ye, the maids around him were so outstanding. scolded his concubine in his heart, what kind of bad idea, just your maiden sister, can she catch up with the little finger of the Hou Ye's maid? Fortunately, I didn't do this kind of thinking, and if I did, I am afraid it would be self-defeating.

It's just that I don't know if Hou Ye has the mind to change his taste, if he has, those Guishan women will come in handy, but what if he doesn't? Zhang Fa was beating a drum in his heart, he didn't dare to look at Jin Chen anymore, he looked at Li Mu, at first glance, he was shocked, why is this Hou Ye so young?

He never knew how old Li Mu was, he heard about Zhang Tianai and Li Mu, and when Li Mu was the youngest, he had to be a little older than Zhang Tianai, Zhang Tianai was twenty-four, but now looking at Li Mu's appearance, there must not be twenty, and he couldn't help but feel sour, where is this horse bandit's daughter? An old girl can actually get the favor of the Hou Ye? Could it be that being a horse bandit can also accumulate virtue?

Li Mu couldn't help frowning when he saw Zhang Fa looking at him with strange eyes, and said unhappily: "Zhang County Order, what do you mean by staring at Ben Hou?" Is there anything strange about Benhou? ”

"No, no, no," Zhang Fa hurriedly cheered up and said, "The lower officials were taken away by the momentum of the Hou Ye, and they were shocked, shocked." ”

"Heh," Li Mu chuckled lightly and said, "Zhang Xianling can speak, which is a little different from what I remember." ”

"Huh?" Zhang Fa's heart suddenly suddenly, and he said cautiously: "Master Hou, could it be that the lower officials were offended in the past?" ”

"Not really." Li Mu said with a smile: "In the past, Benhou was just a pariahs living in the outer city, and he didn't see the county lord a few times a year. But when he signed up to be a township warrior, he dealt with the county lieutenant, if Ben Hou is not mistaken, he also deducted Ben Hou's grain, there should be three buckets of rice, he only gave one and a half buckets, should be given eighty Wen, he gave fifty Wen, so that I don't have enough money to give my mother medicine, now that I think about it, it's also fun, Zhang County Ling said it? ”

"This-" Zhang Xianling didn't know what to say, the local county lieutenant was his brother-in-law. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, when he first became the county commander, the county lieutenant was also sent by the imperial court, but then there was chaos, and the county lieutenant did not deal with him, so he colluded with the horse bandits to kill the county lieutenant and replaced him with his brother-in-law. How else to say that he is the emperor of Mayi, this county cheng, the county lieutenant, the lord of each house, the servant soldiers, are all his people.

Li Mu has lived in Mayi for more than ten years, so he naturally knows it, but when he mentioned it, how could Zhang Fa not understand the meaning, gritted his teeth, and said without hesitation: "Even if the Hou Ye doesn't say it, the lower official will also dispose of this person, recently the lower official received the news, this person is eating and asking for it behind the back of the lower official, it is already a cancer in the county, if it is not removed, the county has no face to face the people, and the lower official will definitely deal with him and dispose of him immediately." ”

"Heh," Li Mu smiled again, and didn't say anything more, in fact, it wasn't him who kicked the county lieutenant, but the former Li Mu, and when he mentioned it at this time, it was just to make the former Li Mu angry, the county lieutenant deducted it, it was all a convention, and it was not a big crime, but it was not a big deal.

"Don't mention this, Zhang Xianling, just now you said that you are Tianai's uncle, where did this come from, why didn't she tell me? You're not going to be blinded to me, are you? ”

"How dare the lower officials." Zhang Fa looked serious and said: "When Xiaguan was young, he met Zhang Xun, who had not yet been a horse bandit, that is, Tianai's father, and was a friend of eight worships. As he spoke, he sighed again and said, "Before the Heavenly Soldiers came last year, Ma Yi was the land of the four wars, and the Hou Ye also knew about it. It is not easy to survive in troubled times, so Xiaguan has to borrow the power of horse bandits, which can be regarded as helping each other with Zhangjiazhai. This relationship is not humane to outsiders, so few people know about it. ”

"Oh." Li Mu bowed slightly, but he did not doubt that there was indeed such a possibility to survive in troubled times, and it could not be regarded as a sin. He was silent for a while, his attitude improved a little, and said to Jin Chen: "Go find a chair and ask your uncle to sit." ”

Jin Chen bowed slightly, turned around and went out. But Zhang Fa was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Hou Ye has tormented the lower official, although it is a little close, but how dare the lower official pretend to be Hou Ye's uncle, this-"

"Okay, don't be too humble, Ben Hou is not giving you face. Your niece has a bad temper, and Ben Hou is afraid of her. Li Mu didn't hide it, he said bluntly, Zhang Fa was slightly embarrassed, but he didn't dare to say anything.

After a while, Jin Chen came back with a stool, and Zhang Fa sat down, but he was also careful and didn't dare to sit down.

"Ben Hou came back this time for three purposes. As soon as he came, His Majesty Longen, posthumously named Benhou's father as Ma Yibo, and gave him a fee to expand the ancestral hall. These things still need a lot of help from Zhang County. ”

"It should be done, it should be done, the duty of the lower officials, I must help the Hou Ye do it well." Zhang Fa hurriedly responded, but he was shocked in his heart, how long has it been, and he has been sealed, this is all an earl, then Li Dang is just a halberd chief, how can he be? It's definitely not looking at his face, but looking at the face of the little marquis in front of him, what a lot of credit this has to be, I can't even think about it!

"Second, Ben Hou is here to welcome his relatives. If you want to go to Zhangjiazhai and marry Tianai, I have brought all the dowry, the degree, and His Majesty's special five-grade order, which can be regarded as not treating your niece slowly. ”

"Oh, if this is slow treatment, what is preferential treatment, Hou Ye is too humble, too humble."

"Third, Ben Hou is thinking, people say that the clothes are back to the hometown, Ben Hou is also a person who went out of Mayi, and he also wants to return to the township, although Ben Hou lived here, there was no one to help him, but it didn't matter, Ben Hou didn't care, so he troubled Zhang County Order to post a list of texts, Ben Hou should be in Ma Yi Xiu College, and leave a sum of money for young people to study. At the same time, you should also throw some money to make everyone happy. ”

"Throwing money?" Zhang Fa didn't understand, and asked in a low voice: "What does Master Hou mean, Xia Guan didn't understand, yes, what kind of Safa is it?" ”

"Just stand on a high place and scatter coins, whoever picks it up is whoever, one of Benhou's favorite games, haven't you heard of it?"
