"What? Let's escort Xiangrui into Beijing? This Huang Ling is such a vicious method! In the county barracks, Luo Gang shot the case and yelled angrily.

"County Lieutenant! Is it the other way around? There's no fucking way to live! You shouldn't have grabbed me back then, and you wouldn't have had so many things to do when you cut off his head that night! Wang Ping said excitedly and complainingly.

"That's it, county lieutenant, it's the other way around!" Seven or eight heads also loudly echoed Wang Ping and the two, clamoring.

Dong Zhuang didn't say a word, frowning and looking at the faces of several people in the room, screaming and jumping excitedly.

"Enough! Shut up! Seeing that his subordinates were talking more and more, Dong Zhuang scolded in a low voice.

Seeing that Dong Zhuang was really angry, Wang Ping and the others immediately died down and sat back in a daze, with a look of disbelief on their faces.

Looking at the appearance of these henchmen, Dong Zhuang sighed secretly in his heart, "Do you think I don't know what Huang Ling's plan is this time?" Such a big fish, more than 100 catties, how easy is it to send it to Youzhou alive in this cold winter? Huang Ling's move was just to throw such troublesome things at me. If he succeeds, it is the credit of his Huang Ling, and the credit of his Golden Mountain, and if he fails, he will have to go out to top the tank. Dong Zhuang's tone softened a lot, and he said calmly to his subordinates.

"Then the county lieutenant is still going to put up with it? Such a big trouble, once something goes wrong, these hundreds of heads of our brothers are simply not enough to cut off. Wang Ping asked suspiciously.

"Wang Ping, you have been with me for the longest time, you know best who I am and what I think. When did I, Dong Zhuang, ever be afraid of Huang Ling's big rat? Speaking of this, a burst of confidence and pride appeared on Dong Zhuang's face, but it quickly turned gloomy and sad again, "The key is that Huang Ling is not alone, there is the entire Huang family behind him." Golden Mountain is the soil emperor of Yunzhou. Whether you killed Huang Ling back then, or we are against him now, have you thought about it, what will happen to us? Occupy Akagi and stand on its own, or do you fall into the grass? ”

"Falling into the grass is also cooler than now." Wang Ping was still not convinced, and muttered a sentence in his mouth.

"Confused! You're cool, what about your family? What about your newborn son? Also fall into the grass? I've lived a life of hiding in Tibet, and I don't know when I'm going to lose my life? Dong Zhuang scolded Wang Ping angrily, and he was speechless when asked a few words.

The people in the room fell silent, no longer impassioned. This is the case, the golden mountain behind Huang Ling is an existence that they want to look up to. As long as there is a golden mountain, Huang Ling can eat them to the death. It's just that these people are all well-known and can't act willfully, and Huang Ling also grasped their shortcomings to wantonly oppress them.

"Alright, everybody

Don't be like this, go back and think about a way, how can you successfully send Xiangrui to the capital. Let's be patient for the time being, there will always be a day when the clouds open and the moon will shine. Looking at the wilting appearance of a group of hot-blooded young people, Dong Zhuang felt very uncomfortable, and opened his mouth to persuade, "If you want to blame, everyone blames me for being a big brother for not being capable." ”

"Big brother, don't say that, it's the brothers who are dragging you down!" Hearing Dong Zhuang say this, looking at his face full of self-blame, Wang Ping hurriedly knelt in front of Dong Zhuang, and the tears of the dignified seven-foot man kept dripping on the ground.

Over the years, among the 500 county soldiers, whether they are ordinary soldiers or big or small leaders, they have all received the favor of Dong Zhuang. Especially in the snow disaster in the past few years, these county soldiers can't afford to support their families, and Dong Zhuang took out his savings to help them tide over the difficulties. Dong Zhuang is also because of them, so he will be compromised by Huang Ling, and the entire county soldiers are grateful and loyal to Dong Zhuang.

"Get up, hurry up, have you ever asked you to do this?" Dong Zhuang pulled Wang Ping and them up one by one, and his face was full of tears, "For so many years, the eldest brother has treated you as little brothers, we have a hard time, but we still have to be patient, and we can't drag down the family." ”

Hearing this, Wang Ping and the others all fell silent, "Then my lord, how can we send Xiangrui to Youzhou?" It's a living thing, not a stone or firewood, and it can be pulled to Youzhou by putting it in the car. ”

"I also thought about it, the most important thing in this matter is how to keep Xiangrui alive. I thought that I would have to use a large pond with hundreds of catties of water and then raise Xiangrui in it, but it would take a little more effort. But the water of this cold winter must be frozen, and Xiangrui must not freeze to death? I can't imagine how you can keep so much water from freezing. Let's also think about how to make the hundreds of catties of water not freeze. Dong Zhuang pondered and said his thoughts.

He asked these county soldiers these small leaders but asked the wrong people, these people are all rough people, where can there be any good way.

"Otherwise, let's have people prepare hot water on the side of the road all the time, and when the water in the box is going to be cold, we can quickly pour a little into it, I think it can be done." Everyone thought about it together for a long time, that is, Luo Gang proposed a feasible solution.

"Yes, I think Lao Luo's method is feasible. Didn't he Huang Ling arrange this job for us? Then let's let them prepare enough manpower to travel hundreds of miles to Youzhou, and let them keep hot water for us. Wang Ping agreed.

Dong Zhuang smiled bitterly, "Brothers, don't even think about this, if you can really come according to this request, then this job will not fall on our heads." ”

"Then let's burn it ourselves, walk for a while and stop to burn some heat

Mixing water into a barrel is also a way after all. Luo Gang said again.

"I'm afraid not, the holy decree says that Xiangrui must be sent to Youzhou before the New Year, and after the deadline, the emperor's interest will be defeated, and no one can get out of it." Dong Zhuang said with a wry smile again.

Hearing that Dong Zhuang had rejected Luo Gang's proposal again, everyone looked at each other, and no one could come up with any other way.

"My lord, then we really can't do anything about killing blanks." Wang Ping said bitterly, "We don't know any skilled craftsmen, if there is such a person, I can kneel down and beg him." ”

"Okay, I'll figure this out again. Don't be idle, think about it when you go back, people can't let urine suffocate after all. Dong Zhuang sighed and finally said.

Throughout the day, Dong Zhuang thought of countless ways and asked many people for advice, but they did not find a good way to solve this problem.

"Daddy, did the county order Huang Fatzi let you escort Xiangrui into Beijing?" Dong Zhuangfang, who had been busy all day, entered the house, and his son Dong Tianxiang greeted him.

Dong Tianxiang is 19 years old this year, he looks average, just 5 feet tall, similar to Dong Zhuang, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a slightly dark complexion, but his body is much thinner. Unlike Dong Zhuang's fierce and resolute face, Dong Tianxiang had a strong bookish aura on his face. Those big eyes often shine with the light of wisdom.

This son has been smart since he was a child, he was admitted to Tongsheng at the age of 13, and became the youngest talent in Yunzhou at the age of 15. To say that Huang Fatzi has never dared to blatantly move Dong Zhuang, to a large extent, he is also afraid of Dong Tianxiang, after all, "I would rather bully the pulsatilla than the poor youth." "Nineteen-year-old, who knows how far he can go. What's more, this teenager is not poor at all.

Dong Tianxiang has been weak since he was a child, and he lost his mother early, and Dong Zhuang has never married, so he is both loving and strict with this only son. Dong Tianxiang was sent to Yunzhou, the state city, to study since he was a child, and only went home for a few days at the end of the year.

"How do I know?" Dong Zhuang looked at his son in surprise.

Dong Tianxiang smiled slightly, "What's so difficult about this?" I heard in Yunzhou City that His Majesty wanted to enter Beijing with live fish, and the child guessed it. How easy is it to send such a big auspicious rui to Youzhou in this weather? Such a hot and thankless thing must be pressed down one level at a time. Daddy is the youngest of the officials who have something to do with this matter, so naturally it will fall on Daddy. ”

"My son is really smart, I guessed it as soon as I guessed." Dong Zhuang looked at his son and smiled with relief and helplessness. This son of his own is not brave enough, but he must be more resourceful. In these troubled times, the status of literati is extremely low, but at least they can die in peace.

"Don't worry, Daddy, the child has already thought of a countermeasure for Daddy, Daddy will come with me." Dong Tianxiang smiled slightly, turned around and let Dong Zhuang go.
