Chapter 33: Who Am I?

Who am I?

Zhang Xuan naturally couldn't tell him his true identity, but fortunately, Zhang Xuan had already done his homework

"In Xiahou Maosheng. is a native of Guide Mansion, Henan, and I have seen Master Chu, so I don't want to disturb, but I just like this, and I asked Master to help settle down. Zhang Xuan shook his head slightly, and Cao Zongyu immediately understood, and gave a piece of silver to Chu Wu.

Hou Maosheng, Mao character, if you use Henan dialect, it is similar to the character 冇, it means that there is no meaning, and the surname Hou is the identity that Zhang Xuan arranged for himself. I have to say that the peach blossom fan in later generations is so famous that Zhang Xuan thinks back to the big families in Henan in this era, and the only thing he can think of is the Dehou family.

That is, Hou Xun, Hou Fangyu's family.

Chu Wufu weighed it lightly and said: "Since Friend Hou is out and has encountered difficulties, how can you not help in the future, there are still a few vacant rooms in the front of the county government, so please ask your friends to settle down temporarily." ”

Chu Wufu speaks with a southern accent, goes out, and is definitely a shrewd person.

Now that the thieves are coming, the whole city is under martial law, the prefect Yan Riyu ordered to inspect in sections, and the vicinity of the South City Gate, as well as the South City Gate, were assigned to the Nanyang Governor, and the Nanyang Governor County would not do everything himself, so it was useless to explain to Chu.

Chu Wufu also knows these two people.

After all, a foreigner, a foreigner with status, appears here at this time, like a fire in the dark, extremely conspicuous.

Chu Wufu couldn't notice the flaw for a while, and decided to supervise the two. But in his mind, there should be no problem.

It's not that Chu Wufu thinks that Zhang Xuan's identity is true, but Zhang Xuan's temperament is like a pampered scholar at a glance, Chu Wufu doesn't think that Zhang Xuan will be a rogue person.

Zhang Xuan said: "It's better to be so respectful than to obey your fate." ”

If there is a choice, Zhang Xuan is reluctant to go to the county office, but now he is covered in blood and urgently needs a place to repair, Zhang Xuan obviously can't find it, but he refuses to go to the county office, isn't it suspected.

Chu Wufu settled the people, so he listened to the official send him a message and said, "Lord County, please come over." ”

Chu Wufu immediately went to the backyard, opened the curtain and went in.

As soon as he entered the inner room, Chu Wufu immediately felt hot all over.

It's just February outside, and it's a little cold, but in the back room it's extremely warm, and it makes people feel drowsy.

But I saw a thin man, wearing a Taoist robe, sitting on an easy chair, shaking and saying, "How is the Shuyang Gate?" ”

The person who spoke was none other than Cheng Wenying, the commander of Nanyang County.

The official name of the South Gate of Nanyang is the gate of Nanyang.

"I've been to check, Ding Zhuang is in place, rolling stones and sasswood, and there are a lot of preparations, the gate is strictly controlled, and there are no suspicious people for a day, by the way, there is only one guide. Only one servant was brought. A little suspicious. The shot was quite generous. Chu said uselessly.

"Did he give you any money?" Cheng Wenying's eyes lit up slightly.

Chu Wuwu's eyes darkened slightly, and he said secretly: "Why am I telling him this?" Then he thought again: "Forget it, I can't hide it anyway." "He has been serving this county master for three or five years, and he really understands this county master, he can't see the silver at all, Zhang Xuan's silver is stuffed under the public, and he can't hide it from the county master at all, and he will give it sooner or later.

Chu Wufu then handed the silver that had not yet been warmed to the county magistrate and said, "That's it." ”

"Fifty taels, that's a lot." Cheng Wenying immediately became energetic, put the silver in the palm of his right hand, looked at it carefully, turned it over, and saw an inscription on it, "Xiangyang Mansion, Chongzhen thirteen years." ”

Cheng Wenying's face changed suddenly, and he immediately said: "Come on, arrest this guide." ”

Chu Wufu asked, "My lord, but is there any problem?" ”

"See for yourself." Cheng Wenying shook his hand and smashed the silver on Chu Wufu's body, Chu Wufu hurriedly caught it, he took the silver and immediately saw "Xiangyang Mansion, Chongzhen thirteen years." "I immediately understood what was going on.

This is official silver.

It's just official silver.

After all, it is common for dignitaries and dignitaries to regard the treasury of the government as their own. But it is the official silver of Xiangyang Mansion. The official silver of Xiangyang Mansion is just that, anyway, Xiangyang Mansion is a big mansion, and the official silver is never less, the problem is the official silver of Chongzhen's thirteenth year.

That is, last year.

The silver that was just put into the warehouse last year is only February of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen now, with the speed of currency circulation in this era, shouldn't it be in Xiangyang Mansion?

And the Liukou has just broken the Xiangyang Mansion.

As a result, there is a big problem with Hou Maosheng.

Chu Wufu immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Adult, the little one is ignorant, the little one is blind, please spare the little one." ”

Cheng Wenying sneered and said, "Let's go to the side and let the county see who is so bold." ”

Cheng Wenying may not be shrewd in the affairs of the side, but as soon as it comes to the silver, Cheng Wenying immediately becomes a hundred times more shrewd. There is no room for a grain of sand in the eyes.

After a while, Zhang Xuan was brought over.

He had just freshened up when he was brought here by the servants. It's just that the officials don't know what's going on, and they don't dare to offend the scholars. Bring it politely.

"The student has seen the county honor." Zhang Xuan saluted.

Zhang Xuan's etiquette has also been trained by surprises, and the person who trained him is none other than Cao Zongyu, don't look at Cao Zongyu who is not mixed with the scholars, but the set of the scholars is very familiar to him.

"Who are you?" Cheng Wenying asked with a gloomy face.

"The student is Dehou Maosheng." Zhang Xuan said. He suddenly had a sudden attack in his heart, and he was secretly worried.

"Do you have a certificate?" Cheng Wenying said.

"But I don't know what the adults suspect?" Zhang Xuan stepped forward and said, "It is estimated that the adults don't believe what kind of credentials the students come up with." Zhang Xuan couldn't come up with any certificates, any road leads, or pleadings, and he didn't have any documents.

Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai are not around them, and there are no talents who can forge documents.

"Okay." Cheng Wenying said: "This silver is yours." ”

Chu Wufu appeared quietly, put the silver in his hand in Zhang Xuan's hand, Zhang Xuan looked at it, and guessed something, and said secretly in his heart: "I never thought that something would go wrong here." ”

This talent Zhang Xuan entered Nanyang City and left all his silver to Xiaoya, bringing with him the funds issued by Luo Rucai, which were used to buy people, and he didn't think of dealing with the government at all.

However, Zhang Xuan was already ready.

"There are some things that I don't want to spread outside, but I don't want the county to respect me like this. For the sake of my little life, I can only say that I am coming, but I just ask the county to retreat. ”

Cheng Wenying will be skeptical. Zhang Xuan said: "I am only one person, unarmed, is it possible that it can still be harmful to the county?" ”

However, even if Zhang Xuan said this, Cheng Wenying did not fully believe Zhang Xuan, and only let the serving maid retreat. The two officials stood with their swords on the left and the right, and the master Chu was useless and was also standing on the side.

Zhang Xuan took two steps forward and was immediately stopped by two officials. He took a half step back slightly and said, "I'm just following the order of my wife to see General Zuo." ”

Hearing General Zuo, Cheng Wenying was startled, and his voice trembled a little and said, "That General Zuo? ”

Zhang Xuan sneered and said: "In this world, is there another General Zuo?" It is the general of the thief, the chief military officer Zuo Gong. ”

Cheng Wenying's heart moved, if it was the left, it was possible to get Xiangyang's treasury silver.

Xiangyang is used as a support for all kinds of money and grain, and Zuo Liangyu is also among them, so it is also possible to send the silver taels that were only put into the warehouse last year to Zuo Liangyu's army.

"Could it be that I was mistaken." Cheng Wenying regretted a little that she was too arbitrary.

Zhang Xuan said: "The head of my family is the former Shangshu Hou of the Ministry of War. ”

Chu Wuxin moved, and said in Cheng Wenying's ear: "My lord, it is likely to be true, it is rumored that Zuo Gong was promoted by Hou Gong to have today. Even now Zuo Gong has a lot of respect for Hou Gong, but Hou Gong seems to have been imprisoned. ”

As soon as he heard that Hou Xun had been sent to prison, Cheng Wenying was a little more confident and said: "Even if you are a member of the Hou family, so what? ”

Zhang Xuan said: "It's not good, it's just a convenience for adults." How about allowing students to stay in the county government for a few days, wait for the Liukou to cross the border, and then leave for them? ”
