Even if the Wang family was frightened by the money Xu Deshan asked for and was short of breath, but in the end he had to give the money to Xu Deshan, no way, who called this money earned back by Xu Deshan, I think that when Xu Deshan deposited more than 1,000 taels of silver in Wang's New Year's money, he said that he saved it, and if he couldn't spend it, he should give the Xu family a contribution, but if he used it himself, he couldn't do it himself, at that time, Wang's mouth was full of promises, so now, even if Wang gritted his teeth and swallowed it in his stomach, could only tremble and send a hundred taels of silver to Xu Deshan, but Xu Deshan was easy-going, out of the gate, still within the sight of the Wang family, so he threw the hundred taels of silver to Xu Niu, Xu Niu held the silver, and ran out of the Xu Mansion as soon as the wind slid away, and the Wang family hurriedly went back to the house to lie down, for fear that he would be angry and die untimely by Xu Deshan while watching it.

Xu Deshan watched Xu Niu leave proudly, with a gloomy face, and as soon as he slammed the door, he locked himself in the house.

Xu Deshan has reason to be so angry, you see that since Xu Deshan has been in the Xu family for four years, only Xu Deshan has always taken advantage, where can anyone make Xu Deshan suffer, but this time, Xu Niu not only made Xu Deshan suffer a loss, but also a big loss, one hundred taels of silver, this is not a small number, don't look at Xu Deshan on the surface, but it is also very painful in his heart.

Xu Niu is a kind of person, Xu Deshan has seen a lot, this kind of person has one and two, two and three, he was slandered by him this time, Xu Niu will definitely not give up, this time he is aggrieved, if it goes on like this, Xu Deshan can not guarantee whether he can bear it with his temper.

After thinking about it, Xu Deshan stood up and shouted Gao Mang outside the door, Gao Mang heard it and hurriedly came over, Xu Deshan said: "You go and bring the donkey at home, and the two of us will go out." ”

Gao Mang became entangled all of a sudden, to say that going out with Xu Deshan has always been Gao Mang's expectation, because every time he goes out, he can make Gao Mang not only have long knowledge, but also increase his prestige, so Gao Mang used to be very keen on such an errand, but, it was before, since he followed Xu Deshan to dig up the dead corpse for a long time in the past two days, Gao Mang's enthusiasm was like ice water pouring on his head, and it was already half cold, this time I heard that Xu Deshan was going to ride a donkey out, and muttered in his heart that Xu Deshan would not dig up the corpse of others and whip the corpse again.

Gao Mang hurriedly asked tentatively, "Little boy, where are you going this time?" Do you want me to get a hoe again? ”

Xu Deshan said angrily: "I'm going to the county office, what are you doing with a hoe, what is so much nonsense, if I tell you to go, you can go quickly, if you don't go, I'll ask someone else to go." ”

Gao Mang is reluctant to go to other places, but if you go to the county office, Gao Mang must not be absent, no way, who told that every time you go to the county office, it is a fat trip, not to mention following Xu Deshan before and after the saddle, the entire county government, except for Ma Changqing and Ma Debiao, no matter who you are, you must also respect Gao Mang for three points, and every time you go to the county office, you don't have to have a meal and come back, just like Xu Deshan said, although Gao Mang can't go to the main seat, but there is also a working meal, and this working meal in Piaoxianglou is not something that ordinary people can eat.

Gao Mang thought, hurriedly went to the backyard to ask for a donkey, this donkey was originally specially used for Xu Caizheng to pull the cart, others don't say it's used, even if they come to touch it, it's just that now Xu Deshan's face is big, and Xu Mansion wants to give some, Gao Mang said three or two words, and smoothly led the donkey, and then Xu Deshan jumped on the donkey, asked Gao Mang to lead, went out, and went straight to the county seat.

Not to mention that the four-legged one is faster than the two-legged one, although the donkey is still slippery, but it also has to be reckless trotting to keep up, less than half an hour, the two came to the county seat, turned a corner, and arrived at the gate of the county government.

Now come, it's different from the first time, I think when Xu Deshan came for the first time, the official gang didn't let him in, and now the official saw Xu Deshan coming from a distance, and quickly whispered to tell him not to neglect this uncle, and then stepped forward to greet him, and reported to the county magistrate Wang Quan in the morning.

Now is the early spring season, everything is recovering, the temperature is suitable, the grass is green, the trees are green, the flowers are red, it looks refreshing, after the busy spring ploughing, there is nothing to do in these days, Wang Quanzao is very idle for a few days, sitting in the back garden every day to drink tea and enjoy the flowers, very comfortable, today in the afternoon, Wang Quanzao felt that there was nothing to do, and asked someone to get a pot of wine, just a plate of small dishes, a mouthful of wine and a mouthful of food, drinking is happy, the official ran in.

"My lord, something is wrong." The official shouted.

Wang Quan was startled, almost dropped the wine glass, and said: "What's the panic, is it because there is a murder!" ”

The official said: "There is no human life, but Xu Deshan from Fuping Township is here again." ”

Wang Quan said in the morning, this Xu Deshan, if he doesn't come, he will not come, as soon as he comes, there will be trouble, the most troublesome thing is that he can't see him, after seeing what the official said, it is really a big deal.

Even if he thinks so, Wang Quanzao has no choice, who calls Xu Deshan the most popular teenager on the entire Hebei Road now, he hurriedly tidied up his clothes, and asked the official to invite Xu Deshan to the study to watch tea.

Wang Quanzao suddenly remembered that there were still a lot of miscellaneous items on his desk, which would be bad if Xu Deshan saw it, so he hurriedly quickened his pace and walked to the study, but Wang Quanzao was still a step late, and when Wang Quanzao walked into the study, he saw that Xu Deshan was already sitting in the study waiting for him, Wang Quanzao couldn't cry or laugh, this Xu Deshan, I really don't know how polite it is.

Wang Quanzao saluted and said: "Third son, why do you have time to sit here with me today, you have always been good lately?" ”

Xu Deshan said angrily: "It's not good, it's not good, I've encountered a trouble in the past few days, isn't this just asking for your help." ”

Wang Quanzao's heart sank, thinking that it was really right, this kid just went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, first ask him what to do, if it was simple, he would agree to him, if it was difficult, he would find a way to excuse himself.

Thinking of this, Wang Quanzao asked: "Third son, if there is anything you can do, please tell me face to face, if I can help some, I am naturally obliged." ”

Xu Deshan said: "Speaking of which, this matter is actually your business and not mine, but since I bumped into it, I will help you deal with it first." ”

Wang Quanzao frowned and said: "Now that the spring ploughing has passed, the territory is peaceful, where is there any trouble, the third prince said to hear it." ”

Xu Deshan said: "Have I ever been to Fuping Township?" ”

Wang Quanzao said: "Naturally, I have been there." ”

Xu Deshan said: "What do adults think of my villagers' customs? ”

Wang Quanzao thought for a while and said: "Gaoyang County is only so big, and the six townships in the county, each township has the same customs, and there is no difference. ”

Xu Deshan said: "There was no difference before, but now there is a difference, if I didn't notice it first, and then cause a catastrophe in the future, I'm afraid that the first person to suffer is your Lord Wang." ”

Okay, Wang Quanzao admitted that now Xu Deshan has successfully teased his curiosity, every time this kid comes back, he can give himself a new surprise, or a fright, Wang Quanzao really couldn't help it, and asked: "What's the trouble, the third prince will come and hear about it." ”

Xu Deshan said: "I don't know what Lord Wang thinks about ghosts and gods. ”

"This ......" Wang Quan couldn't answer for a long time, and peeked at Xu Deshan, are you talking about yourself, didn't you claim to be the heir of Xuannu Niangniang a few days ago, why did you forget it after so many days and ask this question.

Xu Deshan continued: "In the past two days, I found out that in our township, there is a man named Xu Niu, who actually set up a private Buddha statue at home to recruit believers. ”

Wang Quanzao pondered for a while and said: "Third son, folding pages is nothing, there are people worshipping Buddha in the village, this is a very common thing, there are anywhere, the matter is not as serious as you said." ”

Xu Deshan said: "But ......"

Originally, Xu Deshan wanted to say that Xu Niu and their forces are strong, and they still have lives in their hands, where is an ordinary gang, if this is not serious, then what is serious. But when the words had already reached his mouth, Xu Deshan suddenly shook his head, remembered another thing, and stopped abruptly and did not say anything.

It turned out that what scared me was not Xu Niu, a small Xu Niu, not in Xu Deshan's eyes at all, what Xu Deshan was worried about was the huge and powerful organization behind Xu Niu's body, this organization recruited believers under the guise of Buddhism, and now it may just deceive a few old ladies, but you can see that their King Kong dares to hold a steel knife in his hand and kill people casually, you can see that their intentions are not trivial, especially when Xu Deshan was inspecting the corpse, he saw a little clue, such a strict organization, You can be satisfied with a few small bucks. Now they are unscrupulous and unscrupulous, it is the best time to deal with them, if Xu Niu is arrested now, although it is effortless, but if the forces behind Xu Niu are alarmed, it is not a good thing for them to converge and hide, this matter is no longer something that Wang Quan can solve, at least, it is good to start from Jia Changchao.

Thinking of this, Xu Deshan changed his tone and said: "But they actually cheated money, don't you know, just now, they actually cheated me out of a hundred taels of silver, one hundred taels, you say it's not angry." ”

Wang Quanzao suddenly sighed, and made trouble for a long time, Xu Deshan was cheated of money, and he came to complain here, and his heart was a lot easier, and said: "So that's the case, this is easy to do, where do you say that Xu Niu's family lives, and I will call Ma Debiao to take people later, copy their house, and return the money to you." ”

Xu Deshan said: "No, no, I came to you, not for this matter, do you think I Xu Deshan seems to be a person with no money, it's just a hundred taels of silver, it should be given to them, I came to you, there is another thing to say." ”

Wang Quanzao's expression is called a wonderful one, it turns out that Xu Deshan has been talking about it for a long time just now, and he is talking about playing, so what Xu Deshan said is still so lively, and what he said is the same as the truth. Wang Quan didn't know how to chat with Xu Deshan for a while.

Xu Deshan said: "I don't know if Lord Wang has any horses here?" ”

Wang Quan didn't know what he was going to do this time first, so he thought for a while and said: "Yes, yes, but this is a horse for sending official documents, and it can only be used if there is a recent situation, so I can't ride it for you to play." ”

Xu Deshan said: "Where can I ride and play, I want to go to the Daimyo Mansion to find Lord Jia, if it is too slow to walk and ride, I don't know if I can borrow a fast horse to make a leg." ”

Wang Quanzao listened to this shame, sure enough, people can't be compared with each other, don't look at yourself now as a county master, hug before going out, it's not majestic, it looks good, but if you look at Xu Deshan, who is five years old, between words, he is going to the Daimyo Mansion to find today's pacification, the gap between them can be infuriating, Wang Quanzao hurriedly adjusted his mentality, thought about it and said: "Since the third prince is going to the Daimyo Mansion to find Lord Jia, I don't know if the third prince is doing a business or a private matter, if it is a public matter." , This horse can be borrowed, if it is a private matter, this horse can not be borrowed, the third son knows the book and is courteous, and he will definitely be able to understand the hardships of the old man. ”

Xu Deshan said: "I'm full of food and have nothing to do, I ran more than a thousand miles to find an old man to play, of course I went on business." ”

Wang Quanzao said: "Since it is a business matter, the third prince might as well talk to me, I am also the parent official of Gaoyang County, let's not talk about the credit or anything, if there is an official business sent to Lord Jia by the third prince, and I, a local official, do not know, I am afraid that Lord Jia will blame me at that time." ”

Xu Deshan thought about it, and it is indeed such a truth, Wang Quanzao is also quite pitiful, he obeys his words on weekdays, if he doesn't tell Wang Quanzao anything, he is really a little sorry for others, but if it is said that there is a Buddhist rebellion, I am afraid that Wang Quanzao will not believe it or leak the news, then he will have to make up another reason himself, think about it, there is no better reason than to govern the Yellow River.

Xu Deshan said: "Lord Wang, the last time Lord Jia came, I talked about the governance of the Yellow River, but there were a lot of questions at the time, so I can only put it aside for the time being, now I am thinking and meditating, I have some eyebrows, and I am about to discuss with Lord Jia, if it works, the river will be governed in spring, and it will be able to be used in the summer, I don't know if this is a business matter." ”

Wang Quan listened to it early, and Lian Lian nodded and said: "Count, of course, in Hebei Road, except for the border troubles that are river troubles, there is nothing more official than governing the Yellow River, I don't know when the third prince will leave to prepare horses for the third prince in the afternoon." ”

Xu Deshan said: "Naturally, the sooner the better." ”

Wang Quanzao said: "I don't know how many people the third son is with him, how many fast horses do you need to prepare?" ”

Xu Deshan said: "Just ask Gao Mang to go with me, I can't ride a horse when I'm too young now, just prepare a horse." ”

Wang Quanzao said: "Okay, well, the matter of controlling the river is urgent, I will prepare, how about the third prince set off tomorrow?" ”

Xu Deshan nodded and said, "Okay, then tomorrow morning, Gao Mang and I will come to fetch the horse." ”

Wang Quanzao said: "I will write another official letter, seal a letter, and the third prince will take it, and the states and counties along the way shall not be blocked, which is the most convenient." ”

Wang Quanzao thought thoughtfully, Xu Deshan nodded and agreed, in this way, the matter was perfectly solved, seeing that the sun had begun to turn westward, Wang Quanzao thought that Xu Deshan was going to leave and go back, after all, although he had his own official letter and letter, it was convenient all the way, but this is thousands of miles away from the Daimyo's Mansion, how can anyone go, why don't you go back to pack up, rest well, and you can only hurry tomorrow morning, but I saw Xu Deshan move his buttocks, as if he was contemplative, but he didn't mean to get up.

Xu Deshan doesn't leave, Wang Quanzao can't drive people out, but it's not a way for two men to sit like this, Wang Quanzao thought about it, and suddenly remembered, this Xu Deshan, no other preferences, but he is greedy, usually come to himself, always change the method to the meal, and then pull himself to Piaoxianglou to spend a meal, this time Xu Deshan relied on not leaving, I'm afraid he also wants to rub his own meal.

Wang Quanzao looked outside and smacked his lips, this should be inappropriate, it is not right, it is not a meal, but there is no way, who called Xu Deshan a little difficult to serve, Wang Quanzao cheered up and asked: "Third son, I heard that there is a new chef in Piaoxianglou, do we want to try his skills?" ”

Xu Deshan frowned, looked outside and said, "It's only what time is it, why are you going to eat again, Lord Wang, you have to pay attention to your weight, you can't eat so much when you're old, and restraining your appetite is the way to immortality." ”

Wang Quan almost didn't squirt out a mouthful of old blood in the morning, his body doesn't know it yet, now that he is older, he eats light vegetables every day, and even meat is about to quit, isn't it for you to go to Piaoxianglou, this kid, I don't know the hearts of good people, and I beat a rake and taught myself a lesson, which is really unreasonable.

Wang Quan picked up the tea bowl in the morning, ignoring Xu Deshan, talking about this meditation kung fu, Wang Quanzao is not afraid of anyone, anyway, it is already afternoon, at most it will be dark in two hours, if you have the ability Xu Deshan does not go home at night, you will spend the night in the county office.

Sure enough, Wang Quanzao didn't speak, Xu Deshan came up by himself, and said to Wang Quanzao with a smile: "Lord Wang, there is one more thing I want to ask you to help with." ”

Wang Quanzao said: "What else is going on?" ”

Xu Deshan said: "You see, I will go to the Daimyo Mansion tomorrow to meet Lord Jia, this time I go out, even if I say less, it will take a month to come back, if I am caught by Lord Jia to govern the Yellow River, I am afraid that half a year is enough, I am young, how is it good, but I can not rest assured that my parents and brothers, this family, are all old and young, and the family has a big business, if the robbers attack, I am afraid that I will not be able to resist, so I want to train a team of village warriors, protect the Xu Mansion, I don't know if the adults can be gracious." ”
