Chapter 507: The Journey
When passing by Chen Qiaoyi, Li Yunxiao whispered outside the car window to remind Li Zhongyi. Just because, Li Zhongyi has an old habit, as long as he passes by Chenqiaoyi, he has to stop and take a few more looks, sigh for a long time, and reminisce.
It's just that this time Li Yunxiao thought about it, and Li Zhongyi didn't dare to get out of the car now.
The concubines around him, although they have a lot of clothes, are all stripped straight and left with their belly pockets. Li Zhongyi himself is no better, the purple robe is long gone, the jade belt is resting at his feet, and his upper body is only covered with a silk placket**.
Li Yunxiao didn't wait for Li Zhongyi's instructions, knowing that it must be the scenery in the car, which is unsightly.
This Li Yunxiao was originally a straightforward Shu hunter, but in just over five years, he became extremely shrewd and cunning by following Li Zhongyi's example.
After years of tacit understanding, between Li Yunxiao and Li Zhongyi, many times, there is no need for dialogue at all, and each other knows each other's true intentions.
This time, it was no exception, Li Yunxiao quietly drove the soldiers and generals who were guarding the car to the outermost side of the road, so as not to hear things that should not be heard and damage Li Zhongyi's reputation.
Li Zhongyi in the car, because Li Yunxiao was guarding outside, was relieved to be bold and ridiculous.
Peony, in fact, is not stupid at all, on the contrary, her careful eye is shrewd, and she is more shrewd than anyone else.
It's just that for so many years, Peony has been resisting Mount Tai in general, and it is extremely heavy to carry the "notoriety" of the master. This person, if he has a shortcoming that makes people never be able to raise his head, hehe, not to mention how others oppress him, the hurdle in his heart. I can't get past it.
To put it bluntly, peony is mainly due to excessive psychological pressure and feeling inferior. In the Prime Minister's House. The man does not support her, although the subordinates dare not bully her openly, it is inevitable that she will suffer some idleness.
Peony deliberately ordered another rush, Li Zhongyi saw that she wanted to peel off her belly pocket, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's good like this, it's not beautiful if it's really stripped naked." β
Li Zhongyi is only physically weak, but psychologically he is an old man's mentality. I like the hazy feeling of holding the pipa and half-covering the face, it's really a red fruit, no matter how beautiful it is, it's only that taste. Instead, it fell inferiorly.
"Master, the slave loses, you have to give something, right?" Peony's little wit is always a sight to behold.
Li Zhongyi cast an approving glance at Peony, and he said with a smile: "I lost the most." Just let the master have a good pain. β
"Master. What if you lose? "The delicate Caijiao is obviously a little naΓ―ve.
Li Zhongyi curled the corners of his mouth slightly, showed an evil smile, and said seriously: "If I lose, you can hurt me as much as you want." β
"Okay, since the master has changed the rules, let's start over?" Peony's little wit has come to the fore again.
Li Zhongyi smiled with satisfaction. The probe began to shuffle the cards, yard the cards. From time to time, his eyes glanced at the little bamboo lady who was hanging her head low and embarrassed.
This little lady, who has just broken her body, although she already knows about the pleasure of her girlfriends, her face is not thick enough, her face is thin, and she is teasing her, Li Zhongyi is enjoying it.
In the carriage, Li Zhongyi sat among the flowers, enjoying himself and having a lot of fun. For a while, the journey of loneliness and nothing to do became exciting.
When camping for lunch on the way, Li Zhongyi's carriage was surrounded by wide curtains, which completely covered the possible peeps outside.
This is Li Yunxiao's special arrangement, after all, Li Zhongyi went north to the Daimyo Mansion this time, and there were no male soldiers by his side, so it is not too much to be careful.
On the soft and comfortable carpet, Li Zhongyi sat on the ground in the middle, Caijiao's whole person was like a cat, nestled in his arms, his hands stopped his neck, and said delicately: "Brother-in-law, you feed me." β
Li Zhongyi laughed happily, raised his hand and twisted Caijiao's tender face, and said with a smile: "If you want my brother-in-law to feed me and drink, how should this salary be calculated?" β
Caijiao spit out her little pink tongue and said with a smile: "Or, my brother-in-law also bullies and bullies slaves, right?" β
Li Zhongyi laughed again, just now, he bullied the scenery of peony and bamboo at the same time, but he was used by this little girl to fight back, interesting!
The joy of the boudoir is nothing more than the intimate cooperation of her own woman, and Caijiao's amazing performance, so that the peony who sits on the side and eats with his head stuffy is very hot.
"Alas!" Peony secretly sighed, hung her head in a little frustration, and was depressed.
After the lunch of Hehe Meimei, Li Zhongyi, under the service of the three concubines, tidied up his clothes, walked out of the tent with his hands behind his back.
As soon as Li Zhongyi appeared, Li Yunxiao became nervous, and with his vigilant eyes, he checked again, the heights around him.
The crossbowmen guarding the highest points gestured one by one and responded, and Li Yunxiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Zhongyi beckoned Li Yunxiao to his side, lowered his voice and asked him, "What's the situation?" β
Li Yunxiao showed a ruthless face and whispered: "Around us, there are at least four groups of guys of unknown origin. If you hadn't ordered it, don't startle the snakes, the little ones would have sent someone to bear them off. β
Li Zhongyi nodded, narrowed his eyes, and said, "Continue to monitor closely, and if there is any abnormal movement, you will be killed on the spot." It's just that the beginning and end of the aftermath must be clean and neat, and no clues can be left. β
Li Yunxiao smiled and said, "Master, according to the tricks you taught, those groups of people thought they were well disguised, but our people saw through it at a glance. β
Li Zhongyi curled the corners of his mouth, he is not a special soldier, but novels, magazines, movies, and television are full of content about special forces.
Regardless of whether it was useful or useless, Li Zhongyi personally arranged the training work of the sentry camp according to his own understanding.
In the course of experiments again and again, things that are out of place have been gradually removed and replaced with various special warfare methods that are more in line with this era.
To put it bluntly, the test of spy warfare and counter-espionage warfare is accumulation, details, and intensive research.
Due to the distance of Yulin's right guard, the current Kaifeng City, for Li Zhongyi, the situation is already a little out of control, and he has to be cautious.
"That Zhang Siye, are you okay?" Li Zhongyi's status is too high. Although Zhang Siye was in the team of angels, he also needed to search his stomach to find a reason and come closer.
Li Yunxiao said: "Just now. Zhang Siye's subordinates have been staring at the movements on our side from afar. The villain estimated, as soon as you show up like this, I'm afraid he will come to see him soon, right? β
Li Zhongyi nodded with satisfaction and said, "This is going to the Daimyo's Mansion, coming and going, more than a thousand miles away." There are many opportunities to meet. β
Li Yunxiao understood, he smiled and said, "Yes, what is your identity." If you can't see him, he doesn't count. β
Whether it is this year or the successive dynasties and dynasties, if the subordinates want to seek the superior leaders as backers. Why do you have to submit a satisfactory letter of submission?
Otherwise. Why does Li Zhongyi want to support you Zhang Siye, and not anything else, Liu Siye, or Ma Siye?
Li Zhongyi is idle, so he simply strolls along the field road, and it is extremely important to consume food after meals, otherwise, it is easy to give birth to a huge belly.
Inadvertently. Li Zhongyi suddenly spotted Zheng's figure, holding a small tree in her hand. Silently looking at the east.
Li Zhongyi knows the details of the Zheng family very well, she married into the Jin family at the age of thirteen, gave birth to a child at the age of fifteen, and gave birth to the three twin sisters of the Jin family at the age of seventeen.
Caijiao has just turned eighteen years old this year, and she has grown up, and she is fully mature where she should be familiar, and she is a big girl!
Extrapolating back like this, Zheng is only thirty-six years old this year at best, which is not very old.
Because she has been pampered and well-maintained since she was a child, Zheng looks like a beautiful woman of twenty-seven or eight, too young to speak.
Alas, this woman is very pitiful!
The reason why her husband abandoned her was actually very simple, suspicion caused a dark ghost. Li Zhongyi is notoriously lustful, with Zheng's beauty, I'm afraid he has already been touched, right?
Her eldest son, because of his secret rebellion against the rule of the Great Zhou, was commanded by the sailors to make Zhou Daozhong, instigated the king of Goryeo, and cut off his head in the street.
In fact, Li Zhongyi knew very well in his heart that killing that kid was actually his own intention. There is often no reason to rule and be ruled, oppressed and oppressed between different races, only iron and blood can solve it.
At the beginning, in the face of Zheng's pleading, in order not to leave trouble, Li Zhongyi deliberately let the messenger go very slowly, and Zhou Daozhong, who didn't know the inside story, would definitely not let go of that kid.
This can't be blamed for Li Zhongyi's ruthlessness, that kid was originally in Kaifeng City, attached to the Li family, and his small life was extremely nourishing, so he didn't have to worry about everything.
But the problem is that the kid is very nationalistic, and he actually fled Kaifeng in private, stole back to Goryeo, and pulled the flag to resist.
Uncle can bear it, but aunt can't bear it!
Sending that kid to hell, Li Zhongyi has no regrets so far. Even if such a secret thing is known by the three sisters of the Jin family, and it hurts his feelings, he will never regret it.
Between women and the nation, Li Zhongyi's position as a Han ist is extremely firm and unquestionable!
Looking at Zheng's lonely and thin figure, Li Zhongyi felt some pity in his heart, but it was just pity.
Li Zhongyi turned around and paced to the other side, at this time, Zheng wiped away his tears and happened to turn around.
Just now, Li Zhongyi and his concubines were in the carriage, and the sound of joy was endless, and the more Zheng who was sitting in the back car listened, the more sad he felt.
How good it would be for the family to be together, Zheng Shi silently looked at Li Zhongyi's generous back, and felt both envious and sad.
After resting enough, Li Zhongyi re-boarded the car, and the team continued to go north.
The guard of honor at the beginning had not yet entered Fengqiu County, and Li Zhongyi had already received a report that the Fengqiu County Order led the county's officials, gentry, and Shilin leaders to wait on the other side of the boundary stone at the junction of Fengqiu and Kaifeng counties.
When Li Zhongyi was waiting by the old chief's side before, he had seen many times, and the amazing pomp and circumstance of leaders from all over the country were sent from afar.
In fact, the old chief doesn't like to work hard and waste money like this, and he has said publicly many times that he can't do such nonsense.
It's just that the bad atmosphere of officialdom has been formed, even if the chief is telling the truth, no one in the leaders below dares to believe it.
This has formed a strange circle, the specifications of the reception chief, the higher the noise, the bigger the pomp and circumstance, and the expenses are more and more uncontrollable.
Now, Li Zhongyi has also enjoyed such a high treatment, and his heart is somewhat smoky. It is no wonder that the people with power in their hands are desperately trying to engage in corruption and corruption, not to mention the refinement of the yamen, taking luxury cars and eating lavish banquets, just the dignity and dignity of this person. It is enough to tempt people to sink and not be able to extricate themselves.
Li Zhongyi suddenly remembered a famous saying: I hate corrupt people, just because they are not worthy of corruption at all. This is true!
There are more than a dozen counties under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture, Fengqiu County is one of them, Li Zhongyi is not only the governor of the government, but also one of the eight phases of the dynasty, how dare this county order not run obediently and make a big slap?
Unlike other counties, Li Zhongyi took into account. After all, Fengqiu County is the county under his direct jurisdiction, and when he took office this time, although they had met with each other. But I didn't talk about it deeply.
Based on the idea of inspecting the subordinates, Li Zhongyi gave the county order a small face, ordered him to go down, and ordered the county order to go back to handle official business normally. Have a meal together in the evening.
Li Zhongyi was a human being. He has never left the officialdom, and he knows very well in his heart that due to the limited time and the serious hospitality and work, he will never know the actual situation in the county.
However, the officials below have a good way to deceive their superiors and subordinates, and Li Zhongyi also has a diamond drill to find out the inside story. It depends on whose way is higher?
According to the rules of the imperial court, the four grades or more are important ministers. Travel on behalf of the sky, all enjoy the right to travel and stay in the festival.
In layman's terms, officials everywhere must follow the rules of the emperor's travel, reduce the treatment of the fifth class, and receive angels of more than four grades.
Li Zhongyi is not an ordinary important minister, he is one of the eight ministers of the dynasty, and he is also the teacher of the prince, and the officials below received the hall of the political hall early, minus the third reception.
On the official road, there are loess mat roads along the way, and on the side of the road, the villagers who are forced to go out from each village are lined up, from outside the county seat, and have been kneeling into the city.
Li Zhongyi originally wanted not to exaggerate so much, but the rules of the court were like this, and he couldn't detract from the prestige of the angels, so he couldn't say anything publicly, so he could only pinch his nose and admit it.
In fact, Li Zhongyi's experience is very similar to the luxurious life of the Empress Dowager Cixi.
Empress Dowager Cixi, every meal, must be put on one hundred and eight dishes, what she really eats is just a few dishes that she likes to eat on weekdays.
The dishes that can't be eaten are actually not all thrown away, and the old queen mother sometimes gives dishes to the favored palace maids and eunuchs around her, so that they can enjoy the grace of the master.
However, this meal consumed at least 1,000 taels of silver. The old queen mother ate a few mouthfuls of food and poured out more than a hundred times the deliciousness, her heart was very refreshing, but what she wasted was the people's fat and people's ointment of the Qing Dynasty.
After entering Fengqiu County, Li Zhongyi lived in a special Xingyuan prepared for him, which was the mansion of the richest man in the local area, a salt merchant, and was temporarily requisitioned as an angel Xingyuan.
Li Zhongyi walked slowly into the flower-filled house, and saw a small lake in front of him, and at the end of the winding trestle bridge, it was actually a courtyard with the atmosphere of a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.
Today, there are salt merchants, and later there are miners, from ancient times to the present, as long as it is a monopoly resource business, the bosses have made a fortune!
In this era when there are no cars, no airplanes, and no high-speed rail, the journey is indeed extremely hard to go out and walk.
The three concubines surrounded Li Zhongyi, waited for him, took a bath comfortably, and changed into homely green shirts in the hot kang and warm as spring in the house.
Li Zhongyi lifted Erlang's legs, sat on the kang and drank tea, Caijiao leaned on his body, and his small mouth was wanton and coquettish, as if he had something to say.
Given that Caijiao never dared to lie in front of him, Li Zhongyi guessed just from her deliberately flattering expression that she must have wanted to say something for the Zheng family. γ
It's just that Li Zhongyi is also a little curious, what does Caijiao want to do for the Zheng family?
Li Zhongyi wanted to be funny, and asked Caijiao with a smile: "Do you want new jewelry?" β
Cai Jiao pursed her red lips and whispered: "No, the slave only made a complete set of purple and gold jewelry last month." β
Li Zhongyi put down the teacup, patted it lightly twice on Caijiao's round buttocks, and asked with a smile: "Do you want Shu Jin's clothes?" β
"Brother-in-law, what do you want to ......" Caijiao hesitated, not knowing what to say.
Li Zhongyi's eyelids jumped suddenly, could it be that Xiao Nizi wanted to take the initiative to ...... mother and daughter together
Unexpectedly, Caijiao said: "Brother-in-law, the slave's mother, originally came out to relieve her boredom, but now no one is playing with her." So, Nunu thought, when you have free time, call the sisters and play mahjong with her? β
Li Zhongyi smiled dumbly, alas, blame Shu Xiao's mentality, kill people, he, he actually wants to be crooked!
Anyway, Li Zhongyi wanted to summon Fengqiu County Commander in the evening, and Caijiao said it very pitifully, so she agreed to her slightly excessive small request.
Peony didn't have the heart to play with Zheng, her attention. has been staring intently at Li Zhongyi's body.
It is no exaggeration to say that Peony wants a son and has already wanted to become a nymphomaniac.
The little lady of Zhu'er was really afraid of Li Zhongyi's absurdity. She was very willing to accompany the Zheng family in the past, so as not to be greatly embarrassed in front of Li Zhongyi.
Li Zhongyi waved his hand and drove the three concubines out of the house together, while he himself lay down on the kang with his clothes closed, and Meimei made up for a return to sleep.
Fengqiu County's surname is Gao. Mingsong, the word Dequan, is over forty-eight years old this year. But it is still only a small county order, and the official fortune can be described as extremely wasteful.
Liu Jinshan once introduced this person in detail, and the reason why this high county commander was unwilling was related to his stubborn temper.
As the saying goes, it works. For the official, you must not offend the giant room. This is a layman's saying. That is, similar to the "talisman" that Jia Yucun and the little monk said in the Dream of Red Mansions.
The so-called talisman, in essence, is to be an official in the local area, and the powerful families on the special list cannot be offended.
The prince broke the law and was guilty of the same crime as the common people. It's been a slogan for thousands of years, but it's still just a slogan. Whoever believes is stupid!
According to Li Zhongyi's own secret observation, even Liu Jinshan himself also dislikes this Gao County Commander.
In fact, this can also be understood, before doing things, you must first be a person. This Gao county commander can't even do well, so naturally he is so "handsome" that he has no friends.
Liu Jinshan said an incident that Li Zhongyi still remembers vividly.
In Fengqiu County, there is a minister who has been sent to the office, and the people have taken a fancy to the daughter of the high county order, and they are hired as the daughter-in-law of the main room first.
However, this Gao County Commander learned Guan Yu's tone and said: Tiger girls don't marry dogs!
Ahem, this kind of guy who has a little heartless eyes has not been driven home to grow millet so far, which is actually a miracle!
Li Zhongyi's side, who can fight and are enough to take charge of the military generals on their own, has cultivated a lot.
It's a pity that because the foundation is too shallow, there are very few Wenchen who are willing to defect to Li Zhongyi.
With Li Zhongyi's experience as an official, he was quite looking forward to the meeting with this very unpopular Gao County Commander in the evening.
Li Zhongyi was in this compartment, lying on the kang, thinking alone. Over there, Zheng was dragged onto the table by Caijiao.
Unlike Li Zhongyi's absurdity, the four women sat at a table as if four thousand ducks were talking together, and it was very noisy.
"Haha, I'm hu, a three-bar flowering bumper hu." Peony clapped her hands and smiled very happily, "Give money, give money, give money quickly." β
Caijiao glanced at the unusually scarce copper plate in front of Zheng's family, pouted, and said, "My mother doesn't have much money, as for such a big beard?" You don't lack money to spend. β
Peony left Li Zhongyi's side, as if she had escaped from the civet cat, she was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "I am willing to lose the bet, Tong Suo is not bullied." β
The little lady didn't care about these trivial things, the round stool she was sitting on was like a thorn, and it hurt to pierce her ass.
Li Zhongyi's safety is the most worrying thing for the little lady Zhu'er, and she looks out of the hall from time to time, lest she hear bad news.
"Caijiao, I still have some copper coins here, why don't you lend some to your mother? There is not much money, just two cents. β
If Li Zhongyi was at the scene and saw Peony's shrewd calculations with his own eyes, God knows what he would think?
That's right, in the Li family's back house, Peony has actually been pretending to be stupid.
Previously, because of Li Zhongyi's deliberate tossing, Peony had no confidence, so he naturally didn't dare to talk nonsense, cause trouble casually, and clamp his tail to be a man.
This time, Li Zhongyi didn't bring the three sisters of the Qi Jin family, but brought her, a "disgusting concubine", which made Peony understand one thing: Li Zhongyi no longer minds the trivial matters in the past, and she actually has a small place in her heart.
Everyone is Li Zhongyi's concubine, except for Tang Shuyi, who is in charge of the family, Peony's qualifications are older than anyone else.
You must know that when Li Zhongyi was not developed, the only thing that had been serving him was peony and a ring.
It's just that Peony was blinded by butter at that time, and he didn't see the situation of catching up with the great changes, and made a wrong step, resulting in a wrong step and a complete loss.
Although Caijiao is very favored, however, the shrewd peony knows that if Caijiao becomes fond of talking about the east and west, as the days go by, she will definitely lose her precious favor.
Therefore, Peony is only afraid of Tang Shuyi, who is a little deeper than her, but she is not worried about the innocent Caijiao.
This person, as long as there is no huge pressure from the outside, his true nature will be easily exposed.
If Li Zhongyi was present, he would definitely profoundly point out the "little citizen" mentality hidden under the belly pocket of peony.
Zheng was angry with the peony, but he had to swallow his anger, knock out his teeth and blood together, and swallow it in his stomach.
Zheng, who has been in charge of the family for many years, is actually an understanding person, and Peony dares to slap her in the face in front of Caijiao, which shows that people are very confident and are not afraid of the favored Caijiao.
At this time, Caijiao took out a purple gold hairpin inlaid with emeralds from her cuffs, gently put it in front of Zheng's family, and said with a smile: "Mother, this is a small object that my master rewards me, you can take it as a gambling chip." β
The little bamboo lady who didn't want to mix with these things couldn't help but widen her eyes, such a precious hairpin, it seems that she has never seen it in the treasure chest of the folding lady?
Alas, poor Caijiao, for the sake of a momentary anger, actually revealed a very favored old foundation. Just look at the beautiful eyes of the peony that is about to breathe fire, and you will know that there is a big deal!
***********
Thanks to the brothers' monthly ticket support, it gave Sikong the motivation to work hard, although it was only a dozen votes, Sikong was still full of strength, and the 9,000-word update was sent.
