After mastering Pan Jinlian, Zhao Yue felt that he was doing useless work, and laughed at himself, but remembered the couple who were connected to Wu Song's fate, and Liu Tong, Ma Ling's master and apprentice, and Yunchen They went south to check the chaotic and sick Jiangnan situation in prosperity, and by the way, they went to Mengzhou Cross Slope to have a look.

The sun is at its last cool poison of the year, reminding people to be in awe and appreciate it.

Zhao Yue and his entourage ran fast and sweaty, although they were all strong men, they were also afraid of heat stroke, and the war horses were also so tired that they were sweating all over, so they led the horses to hide in the remnants of the ancient woods on the side of the road to rest.

There happens to be an unknown river that meanders through the middle of the woods.

After the war horse was washed, he leisurely ate some grass, drank water in the small river, and slowly recovered his spirit.

After putting on the war horse and preparing to leave, Zhao Yue suddenly raised his index finger and was silent.

A moment later, I heard someone cursing.

"I said, Master Kong, are you going or moving? Ants are also faster than you. On this hot day, you dragged our brothers to bask in the sun, did you want to kill us? ”

Another voice sneered and scolded: "Kong Hou, do you still think you are the county captain?" Tell you to hurry up, didn't you hear? Don't put our brothers in the eyes when we talk is a fart? ”

Listen to the sound of a stick's thump against the flesh, and the muffled grunt of a man's pain.

One of them scolded angrily: "Escort your envoy, our brother is really bleeding mold." Look at how majestic and proud you usually are, the county lieutenant, rich, full of county subordinates, and beauties. Phew. Why didn't you even have someone to see you off when you went to prison to fill the army, ah? Lao Tzu, the filial piety of the eldest son is confiscated, and you have to be fed upside down, don't starve to Mengzhou. What kind of money are you holding? ”

The other person was angry with deep mockery: "Master Kong cleverly destroyed the powerful and wealthy Zhu family. personally killed the bandit leader Zhu Yongqing, and copied countless money and fields for Shangguan. Those who have made a lot of credit are triumphantly waiting to get rich and be promoted, right? ”

"As a result, what we are waiting for is the scapegoat for the county seat to be broken."

"Hehe, the tall building has lost its footing. Dreams are in vain, aren't they? ”

"You said that you knew that Wu Xianling was Gao Taiwei's person, he died, and the money to honor Gao Taiwei was robbed by the bandits, and Gao Taiwei was angry and couldn't let you go. The county seat was broken, and the county order was naturally to fight the thieves bravely, bravely dedicate himself, and be honored after death. You were scared of death and ran away. Hide with money and can't go unpunished and continue to be happy? But he still wanted to continue to be an official and returned to the net, but the money he was going to bribe was filled in with your family background and beauty, causing us both to suffer. ”

The other snorted coldly: "Lao Tzu didn't believe that you had so much money, so I was so stupid that I didn't hide it elsewhere." I advise you to come out and share some profits with our brothers, so that you won't have to endure the hardships, ah-"

The man screamed suddenly, and Kong Hou burst into attack, slamming sideways with the hard and sharp edges of the flail on his shoulder. knocked out a big hole in the temple, and immediately fell softly.

The other solution was behind Kong Hou, who was holding a water and fire stick, and wanted to teach Kong Hou a few more blows, so that this county tycoon who used to need low-level servants like them to kneel down and curry favor honestly recognized the situation and gave them silver, and suddenly saw Kong Hou kill his companion. Suddenly, Kong Hou turned around, picked up the handcuffed iron chain and pumped it the side of Xie Poor's head, making Xie Jie roll his eyes. The water and fire sticks fell to the ground and fell down.

Zhao Yue glanced at Ma Ling when he heard this, and sneaked over quietly.

The hole is thick, and the two hands are locked together. Pull out the waist knife with your foot on one solution, and wipe a knife on the throat of one of the two people. Only then did he quickly drag the corpse into the forest, find the key and open the torture instrument. Regaining his freedom, he sneered resentfully and quickly took off the official uniform of the mission, washed off the blood stains in the creek and replaced it, put on the official hat of the messenger to cover the golden seal on his forehead, put away another set of official clothes, and then wrapped the two naked corpses and the iron chain prison uniform together and threw them into a swamp formed by the river.

Seeing that the corpse quickly sank into the swamp and the evidence of the bloody case disappeared, Kong Hou breathed a sigh of relief and scolded lightly: "Two pickled idiots also want the villain to deceive me and take my money?" ”

Sigh again.

"You're right. It is because the official is confused and reluctant to give up his official career that makes it difficult! ”

"Don't I know that it is difficult to survive in Mengzhou Prison City? It just so happened that the previous business trip knew that this place was wonderful, and he had planned to get out of this place in the morning, so he tolerated your rampant to this day. ”

Hahaha

Kong Hou poured out the stuffiness in his chest, and looked at his official dress proudly.

is dressed up like this, and it is deeply involved in the public door, no one can interrogate the flaws, why can't he escape?

He packed the burden of the two disagreements into one place, wrapped the two waist knives, carried them together, and strode towards the north.

Ma Ling looked at Kong Hou and walked away, looked at the swamp and sighed: "It's also a character." ”

Zhao Yue smiled and didn't squeak.

Since ancient times, it is these grassroots officials who have made the people feel painful.

This Kong Hou can climb to the position of county lieutenant, he naturally has brains and some skills, he has been at the grassroots level for a long time, he is well versed in those ghost domain tricks, and what is difficult for him to calculate and kill and solve the problem as a fugitive?

This place is also a crossroads in Kong Hou's life, and he passively chose the opposite path from before.

I inquired and came to the cross slope. First see the iconic tree that four or five people also hugged.

Zhao Yue looked at the hotel not far away and nodded, it should be here.

A very neat hotel guy came from afar and greeted him enthusiastically: "The guest officer is here?" The small shop can be visited by distinguished customers"

The smiling face was satisfying, the compliments were extremely fluent, and it was comfortable to listen to, but the flickering eyes made Zhao Yue see clearly the murderous thoughts hidden in his heart. It seems that Sun Erniang is really not good.

There is a thatched stable on one side of the hotel.

Zhao Yue and the others dismounted, took themselves with their things to the hotel, and left Wang Nianjing to arrange.

The fellow was diligent and slick in tying up the horses one by one.

Wang Nianjing was born in the underworld, and he turned to the right line, but his experience and vigilance were not lost.

He said meaningfully: "This is really a good place, close to the road, no village in front of the village, no store in the back, surrounded by mountains and wilderness, open a store without worrying about no customers, let alone no windfall." ”

The shopkeeper's face stiffened, and then he smiled and said, "Your guest is praised." Our owners have limited capital, so they want to be cheap, so they set up a small shop to facilitate customers, and they barely survive. ”

Wang Nianjing waved his hand: "Okay, serve the essence immediately." ”

"Hey. The guest officer is reassured. The villain put corn flour and beans on it to ensure that the uncle's beloved horse is fed well. ”

After more than ten years of trial planting and promotion in Cangzhao, corn, a foreign crop with high yield and good management than wheat and corn, has gradually been recognized by the imperial court, and is now widely planted in various places.

This region included the Liao Kingdom, Western Xia, and Goryeo

It was difficult for Da Song to hold on to his advantage.

The emperor wanted to show the demeanor of a great country, when his own country, corn seeds were not enough, and the people were starving, but he generously gave them to "friendly countries", so that the people of the enemy country could be fed, and the war horses could be fed well, so that they could have more power to invade the Great Song Dynasty. In this name, the powerful desperately sell their seeds to foreign countries for profit

The kingdom taught by perverted Confucianism is really speechless.

In Zhao Yue's heart, Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang, a perverted couple, should go down to the mine and work hard to mine coal under the poisonous whip, live better than death, live like a year, and then encounter a landslide one day, bury their bodies and souls deep in the ground along with the ferocious crimes, and return the world to a prosperous future.

But at the door of the hotel, the scene made him slightly stunned.

The table was deliberately pushed open next to the door, and a bamboo recliner was placed in the vacant space. On the chair lay an old man in his fifties, his face pale, his lips blue, his breathing shortness, and his eyes seemed to be unable to open.

This person is sick, and he has suffered from heat stroke, but the symptoms of heat stroke are not serious.

A tall and stout man like an iron tower, looking about thirty, was standing to the side watching the old man rub his hands anxiously. Judging by his appearance, the man should be the nephew of the old man.

Zhao Yue turned his head to look at the human figure of the man-powered trailer with the awning and the straw laid on the car not far from the door, and guessed that this man should have used this thing to bring the old man here.

A woman crouched in front of the old man. Emerald green tulle shirt, seven red torn skirts.

From Zhao Yue's angle, you can't see the woman's frontal appearance, what you can see is the woman's exposed snow-white round waist and low-necked tulle exposed small snow-white breasts. room and deep ditch.

This woman didn't care about exposing herself in public, proving that she was by no means an ordinary serious woman.

Listening to the surrounding words, she is the hotel proprietress and the famous Sun Erniang.

However, this dominatrix, who should have been feared and disgusted, is now like a filial daughter-in-law who is very virtuous, holding a bowl of soup in one hand and a spoon in the other hand to persuade the old man in gentle words.

"Old man, if you have food in your stomach, you will have strength and spirit. This is refined sugar water, which is said to be a good thing from overseas, expensive, and drinking it is the fastest to refresh and improve strength. This is the wonder that Little Women discovered. Trust me, it's going to work, drink some. ”

"Old man, open your eyes and see that your son is in a hurry. The tall man can resist when the sky falls, but he almost sheds tears when he sees you like this. Come, open your mouth, and be sure to insist on drinking some"

The old man may have slowly eased up in the ventilation and shade at the door, or perhaps he was moved and encouraged by his son's filial piety and the enthusiasm of the hotel proprietress, so he finally opened his eyes slightly, tried to open his mouth and began to drink.

Sun Erniang fed the old man little by little very patiently.

When the soup spilled, she didn't feel dirty, and she smiled and wiped the corners of the old man's mouth with a handkerchief.

Zhao Yue watched silently, his indifferent eyes softened.

A man who was born with three fists and a forked face, a few mustaches, and nearly thirty years old saw the arrival of Zhao Yue and his party, and hurriedly stepped forward to receive him warmly. Sun Erniang didn't even look back.

This person should be Zhang Qing in the vegetable garden.

Zhao Yue nodded slightly and whispered to him, "The old man has heat stroke." Let him lie flat in a ventilated place, raise his feet, open his clothes and cool him, and adjust a bowl of light salt water to feed. ”

Zhang Qing was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Your guest is merciful." Please sit inside. What is there to greet dude. The villain takes care of the patient first, and when he gets the salt water, he will come to serve. (To be continued......)
