Li Daniu walked to the front of the courtyard with Kou Jiyi, and whispered uneasily: "The family is a little simple, and the owner ...... it."

From beginning to end, Li Daniu has always called Kou Ji Dongjia, but he is unwilling to call Kou Ji Qincha.

I generally think that calling the owner can be closer.

He didn't have any idea of climbing to power, but simply felt that he was eating Kou Jifa's salary, so he should be called Kou Ji's owner.

Kou Ji stared at the courtyard and smiled indifferently: "Don't be wronged...... I think it's good...... It's just that the popularity is too small......"

Kou Ji did not ask Li Daniu why there was such a big mansion in Xining City, nor did he ask Li Daniu why he did not repair the mansion.

Everyone has their own story, and everyone has their own difficulties.

If people are willing to say it, they will naturally say it, and if they don't want to say it, Kou Ji will not ask more.

Li Daniu heard that Kou Ji was not disgusted, and immediately cracked his mouth and smiled, "It's good if the owner doesn't dislike it...... There are a lot of people in our yard......"

The voice landed.

Li Daniu shouted at the courtyard, and one by one, his little heads poked out of the dilapidated houses in the courtyard, and he looked at Kou Ji and his party curiously with his dark eyes.

When Li Zhaoliang saw this, he was stunned and said: "People are very prosperous......

Li Daniu smiled: "That's not ......"

Li Daniu led Kou Ji and his party into the courtyard.

Heads kept poking out of the various dilapidated houses in the yard.

Liu Heng quietly approached Kou Ji and said in a low voice: "I counted it carefully, there are nearly forty children, and they shouldn't be Li Daniu's." The yard where Li Daniu lives has not been repaired for a long time, and I am afraid it is also related to these children. ”

Kou Ji looked at those curious little faces and nodded faintly.

Kou Ji and his entourage followed Li Daniu into the main hall, and saw that the furnishings in the main hall were very simple.

Tables, chairs, and benches are all available.

But that's all.

Because there is nothing but tables, chairs, and benches.

Li Daniu invited Kou Ji and his entourage to sit down, and shouted to the back hall: "Big girl, go make tea and greet the guests." ”

A small voice in the back hall answered.

Li Da Niu said to Kou Ji: "The owner sits down for a while, the villain goes to help, and the big girl is alone, I'm afraid I can't be busy." ”

Kou Ji nodded and smiled indifferently: "Just go to ......"

Li Daniu entered the back hall with a smile.

Li Zhaoliang pursed his mouth and sighed: "He's a good person......"

Liu Heng looked at him and asked, "Do you know him?" Know what happened to him? ”

Li Zhaoliang shook his head, "I don't know, and I don't know what happened to him." But as I expected, none of the children in his yard were more than ten years old. ”

Liu Heng said unexpectedly: "Why? ”

Li Zhaoliang said faintly: "Only children over the age of ten can help with work, and only then do they need it." ”

Liu Heng instantly understood the meaning of Li Zhaoliang's words.

Most of the children who adopted children in Bianjing City were also adopted by those over the age of 10.

Because boys and girls over the age of ten are almost old, they know a little bit about things, and they can use it with a little training.

But children under the age of ten are mostly naughty children.

I can't do anything other than make trouble and eat.

No one wants to adopt at all.

The imperial court also had a solitary garden to take in orphans and widows.

It's just too dark.

Therefore, many people would rather give their children to others for adoption than send their children to solitary gardens.

The three of them spoke.

Li Daniu had already made tea, led an eight-year-old girl, and several girls about seven years old, holding wooden teacups, and delivered them to Kou Ji and others.

After the girls brought the tea, they timidly stood aside.

Kou Ji and the three of them took a sip of tea, only to feel that the taste was very astringent, but no one spoke, just drank the tea silently.

Finished drinking tea.

Kou Ji said to Li Zhaoliang: "Let your people go and make rice." ”

Li Zhaoliang nodded and waved his hand to the person behind him.

Li Daniu hurriedly got up and said, "No, no, I can do it." ”

Kou Ji sighed and said, "What can you do with one arm and a few female babies?" Hundreds of us eat, not three or two. ”

Li Daniu sat down in a daze.

The people brought by Li Zhaoliang have already gone to look for the kitchen.

The three of Kou Ji sat and chatted with Li Daniu.

I learned about it after talking.

In the past, Xining City was really poor.

Most people don't have enough to eat.

Every year in winter, there are always people who starve to death.

Left behind a lot of widows and orphans.

The older boys, who could help with the work, were adopted by the kind-hearted people.

Around the age of ten, the girl who opened her mouth was bought by traffickers.

There was only a small group of small ones left, and no one cared about them.

Li Daniu adopted them.

The courtyard was the courtyard of a wealthy family in Xining City, and when the barbarians invaded the city, they were looted and killed.

After Li Daniu quit the army, he looked for a place to stay.

Li Zheng was the master of the market and gave the yard to Li Daniu.

All the money Li Daniu earns on weekdays has been fed to the children, and there is no extra money to repair the yard.

Over time, the yard became more dilapidated.

The only thing that is desirable is that Li Daniu earned his own money, plus the help of his neighbors, did not starve himself and his children, and did not have a shortage of clothes for the children.

Li Daniu himself wore a thin one.

But the children were dressed in thick clothes, like little bear cubs.

Although there is no hostess in the yard, the children are very clean.

Kou Ji was very surprised by this.

Li Daniu looked horizontally and vertically, and he was a big boss.

I didn't expect my mind to be so delicate and so clean.

Li Zhaoliang was also amazed by this.

and said that he could pay to help Li Daniu.

But when the children around Li Daniu grow up, they must help the Li family do things.

on this.

Li Daniu politely refused.

Kou Ji and Liu Heng didn't say anything.

Just as they were about to finish speaking.

Li Zhaoliang's men have already cooked the meal.

When the smell of rice filled the yard, those little guys appeared in front of people one by one.

Seeing this, Kou Ji smiled happily: "It seems that we have to invite the little masters to eat first." ”

Li Daniu was embarrassed by this and refused again and again.

Li Zhaoliang and Liu Heng nodded in agreement with Kou Ji's statement.

Kou Ji asked people to divide the prepared meals among the little ones, and then asked them to make them again.

The little ones ate one by one with their mouths full of oil, and they were also a lot closer to Kou Ji and his party.

Of course, it's only the three of them who are close to Koji.

They were afraid of the swords and armor-clad men and warriors.

The three of them played with the children for a while.

A man at the door hurried to Kou Ji to report, "Little young master, the scouts in the Xining Prefecture garrison camp have arrived." ”

Kou Ji was holding a five-year-old doll with a somewhat large head in his arms, teasing him while lightly instructing, "Let them wait outside the door......

The man said yes and withdrew from the courtyard.

It didn't take long for the man to appear beside Kou Ji again, and reported, "Little master, the governor of Xining Prefecture, please go to Qingshan Tower for a banquet." ”

Kou Ji said lightly: "He probably didn't hear my order clearly, and sent someone to convey my order again." ”

And so on.

Wait for the second round of rice to be served.

The gate of the courtyard was already full of people, all of whom were in power in Xining Prefecture.

Seeing this, the people in Xining City rushed over to watch.

Kou Ji and his party were eating a hot meal in the courtyard.

A group of people who held great power in Xining Prefecture stood outside the courtyard in the wind and snow.

Wait until Kou Ji finishes eating.

The chief steward of the workshop in Xining City has already sent someone to help Kou Ji clean up a house.

Kou Ji held the five-year-old doll and sat on the hot kang.

instructed Liu Heng beside him: "Call Mu Zichuan in." ”

Liu Heng immediately sent someone to call.

Kou Ji continued to tease the five-year-old doll.

Dolls have no sex, called the rest of their lives.

The reason for this name is that this little guy almost died at the hands of Hanako's help.

When Li Daniu met this little guy, the black-hearted Hanako of the Hanako Gang had just broken his arm and were going to raise him for a while and let him beg for money.

It's probably the first time that those black-hearted Hanako have attacked such a small doll.

So I didn't know that such a big little doll couldn't withstand their vicious means at all.

The little guy almost died on the spot.

It was Li Daniu who saved the little guy and ran to all the pharmacies in Xining City to save the little guy's life.

Now the little guy has picked up a life, but his arm is useless.

Li Da Niu named him Yu Sheng.

I don't talk much for the rest of my life, I'm a little clingy, and I like to stay quietly around adults, blinking and looking at adults with big eyes.

Kou Ji gave him a piece of frosting, and he obediently stayed in Kou Ji's arms.

Don't cry or make a fuss.

Kou Ji teased Yu Sheng for a while, and Mu Zichuan appeared in the room with a thick stack of papers.

"Xiaguan Mu Zichuan, I've seen an angel."

Mu Zichuan held the paperwork and bowed down.

Kou Ji hugged the rest of his life and said lightly: "Mu Zichuan, how many years have you been an official?" ”

Mu Zichuan hurriedly said: "Xia Guan has been an official for twenty years......

Kou Ji nodded and said, "Twenty years, it's not short...... So why make some childish mistakes? ”

Mu Zichuan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "I don't know what mistake the lower officials made?" ”

Kou Ji put down the rest of his life, stared at Mu Zichuan, and said coldly: "From the scout of the Dragon Guard Army to your Xining Prefecture to today, have you ever played a document to the imperial court?"

The situation in the Western Regions is changing rapidly, how many times have you written to the officials to explain it? ”

Mu Zichuan's body trembled slightly, and he explained: "Back to the angel, the situation in the Western Regions is explained by Xue Gong to the imperial court......"

Kou Ji narrowed his eyes, "Still don't know what's wrong?" ”

Mu Zichuan's knees weakened and he almost fell to his knees.

"Xiaguan...... The lower officials know that they are wrong......"

Kou Ji snorted coldly: "Such a big thing has happened in the Western Regions, and you have not handed a single document to the imperial court so far. You can't escape the two crimes of dereliction of duty and negligence. ”

"Xue Gong ......"

"Shut up!"

Kou Ji snorted coldly.

Yu Sheng was startled, and subconsciously hugged Kou Ji's arm, blinking and staring at Kou Ji.

Kou Ji suppressed the fire in his heart and said coldly: "Until now, you still dare to quibble?" Xue Tian is Xue Tian, you are you. The two of you have different positions and responsibilities, so you should do things according to your respective duties.

You are the governor of Xining Prefecture, and if there is any change in Xining Prefecture, you should be in time to uphold the imperial court.

If there is an oversight in Xue Tian's rush play, your rush will be very important to the imperial court.

But now, more than half a month has passed, and the court has not received a letter from you.

The officials were very dissatisfied with this. ”

Mu Zichuan sat down on the hand with a puff, and said in a trembling voice: "Xiaguan...... Xia Guan knew that he was wrong...... I will definitely change my ...... in the future."

Kou Ji stared at Mu Zichuan and snorted coldly, gritted his teeth and said, "I know what you have in mind. You just want to do more and make more mistakes, do less and make fewer mistakes, and if you do nothing, you will not do anything wrong.

But the current court is not the previous court.

There is no need for officials like you who like to do nothing. ”

"Xiaguan...... The lower officials must change ......"

Kou Ji didn't look at him again, glanced at Liu Heng, and instructed lightly: "Drag him down, and show him the will sent by the official family." ”

Liu Heng immediately led people to drag Mu Zichuan out of the room.

Outside the room.

An empty place.

Liu Heng took out a holy decree and handed it to Mu Zichuan.

Mu Zichuan trembled and took the holy decree, but he didn't dare to open the holy decree and look at the contents inside.

"It doesn't really matter if you look at it or not...... Your head, the official family wants ......"

Mu Zichuan's eyes widened in horror, "I'm just...... I just didn't ...... in time"

Before Mu Zichuan's words were finished, he saw Liu Heng sneering and saying, "What else do you want?" Because of your dereliction of duty, the court almost made a wrong judgment. Do you know how many people will die with this wrong judgment? How much grain will it cost the imperial court?

You can go in peace.

The man who will replace you will be in four days. ”

"Puff ......"

Liu Heng's subordinates stabbed Mu Zichuan in the eye with a long sword.

Mu Zichuan glared and fell on the hand, blood staining the snow on the ground.

Liu Heng glanced at Mu Zichuan's corpse and returned to the room.

Kou Ji said lightly: "The official family is becoming more and more domineering. ”

Liu Heng rolled his eyes and muttered, "Obviously, you proposed to let the official family be ruthless." ”

Kou Ji didn't hear Liu Heng's words, "Call those garrison captains who are in charge of the scouts in." ”

Liu Heng nodded and ordered his subordinates to continue to call people.

It didn't take long for two men with big shoulders and round waists to appear in the room.

Koji glanced at them.

"It's quite fat, and the armor can't cover your stomach."

One of the lieutenants said with a flattering smile: "It's still thanks to you, if you weren't doing business in Xining City, the lowly people wouldn't have so much money to make, let alone eat well." ”

Kou Ji stared at them and asked, "What is your duty?" ”

The captain was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said with a straight face: "Stick to Xining City, resist the barbarian invasion, and spy on the enemy situation of the barbarians." ”

Kou Ji nodded and said, "So, you all know about the many things that happened in the Western Regions?" ”

The lieutenant hurriedly nodded, "I know......"

Kou Ji asked, "Then why don't you report it?" ”

The lieutenant hurriedly said: "I reported it, why didn't I report it." The inferior people reported to Shangguan as soon as possible. ”

Kou Ji smiled and nodded, "You're quite capable of blowing." ”

The lieutenant was stunned.

Kou Ji said to Liu Heng: "Give them a memory of their great achievements." ”

Liu Heng picked up a paperwork, threw it to one of the lieutenants, and said lightly: "Actually, there is nothing to read." After the imperial court cut the four sides of the box army, they led the soldiers of the scout camp out of the camp every day.

It's just that I don't dare to go to the depths of the grassland, and I've been wandering outside Xining City.

Either hunting on horseback outside the city, or disguised as horse thieves and plundering passing merchants. ”
