After Qin Fan rode away, Zhuge Guo returned to Taishou Mansion, scratched his head and said, "What's going on with this Qiao Mansion?" ”

Bu Qi listened, shook his head and smiled: "Anhui County Er Qiao, Ziyu hasn't heard of it, right?" ”

"Oh, I see." Zhuge Jin reacted and sighed: "The lord never cares about business, but he was hooked by a woman. How did this rebellion come about? ”

Bu Qi glanced at him and said, "Ziyu is cautious." ”

Qin Fan had the intention of rebelling, and Gu Yong had already said that he knew with the two of them.

Zhuge Jin said: "It's just you and me here, who will listen?" ”

Bu Qiu shook his head, put down the brush in his hand, and said leisurely: "It's just a small county, but Ziyu thinks too much, and besides, the lord has always been here, where does our money come from?" ”

Zhuge Jin was dumbfounded: "This is also true, hehe." ”

......

A few days later, Qin Fan and his entourage entered the boundary of Yuzhang County.

Yuzhang County is quite large, but the territory is mountainous, and compared with Lujiang County, the terrain is much worse.

Most of these mountains are inhabited by indigenous mountain crossings. In the future, after receiving Yuzhang County, they will have to attack them one by one.

Along the way, Qin Fan was not in a hurry, and slowly and leisurely looked at the terrain while going to Nanchang County, the seat of Yuzhang County.

After a few more days, Qin Fan and his entourage entered Nanchang County.

"Lord, this is Nanchang County." Gu Yong said to Qin Fan.

Qin Fan said: "There is too much difference between Yuzhang County and our Lujiang County, and we will have to spend a lot of effort to rectify this place in the future." ”

This is Qin Fan's feeling these days, Yuzhang County is not only incomparable with Lujiang County economically, but also too far behind in terms of security.

Of course, there are reasons for the complicated topography of Yuzhang County, but Qin Fan feels that it is more because of Zhou Shu's inaction.

Qin Fan didn't dare to say this to Gu Yong, if he knew that Qin Fan hadn't seen Zhou Shu yet, he planned to take him down, and it was estimated that he would vomit blood.

But if he didn't do this, Qin Fan was really reluctant in his heart, and what he saw and heard along the way to Yuzhang County was somewhat shocking.

As a neighboring county, when Qin Fan was not the Taishou of Lujiang County before, Lujiang County was actually very good, but compared with Yuzhang County, the gap was too far.

After a few more days, Qin Fan and the others finally arrived in Nanchang County.

After entering Nanchang County, Qin Fan found that Nanchang County was much more prosperous than other counties.

The mood is a little better, although he is far from being comparable to Wanxian.

Outside the gate of the Taishou Mansion in Nanchang County.

Gu Yong dismounted and said, "Lord, I'll go in and talk to Zhou Shu." ”

"Go ahead." Qin Fan said.

After Gu Yong entered, Xu Chu said: "Lord, let's also get off the horse, this is too guarded to ride a horse in front of the mansion." ”

Qin Fan took a look, and sure enough, he saw two errand servants walking this way.

Qin Fan ordered the four of them to dismount.

The two messengers stepped forward and said, "Don't stop the horses in front of the Taishou Mansion, go and stay aside." ”

Xu Chu shouted: "Last time I came, I wasn't allowed to ride a horse, why didn't I stop this time?" ”

An errand said: "If you don't allow it, you don't want it, where did you get so much nonsense, get out of the way." ”

Xu Chu is a reckless person, and he will get angry when he hears it.

Qin Fan hurriedly stopped him and asked everyone to pull the horse aside.

Wait for the two errands to leave on their toes. Qin Fan said to Xu Chu, who was scolding: "This is not our territory, stop point." ”

"Last time you came to drive me off, this time drive me out of the way." Xu Chu said: "I think this group of people just have opinions about me. ”

Qin Fan shook his head and didn't speak.

Not long after, Gu Yong walked out and said, "Lord, Zhou Shu has been sick recently and can't come to greet him in person. ”

"It doesn't matter."

Qin Fan said with concern: "Is it serious?" ”

Gu Yong shook his head, "It's okay, but it's not good spirits." ”

Gu Yong brought Qin Fan and his party into the Taishou Mansion, and the two servants before were still looking at them with unkind eyes.

Qin Fan was surprised in his heart, and asked in a low voice: "Yuan sigh, how can we say that we are also guests now, how can these servants look like thieves one by one?" ”

Gu Yong looked left and right, and explained to him: "The local scholar clan is very powerful, and those errand soldiers I saw just now are all from the scholar clan, and Zhou Shu has no choice, so how can they look at us in their eyes?" ”

"And that kind of thing?" Qin Fan was taken aback and said, "This Yuzhang County Taishou is so powerful? ”

"Not only Yuzhang County, but also several nearby counties." Gu Yong said: "Our Lujiang County was set up by the Xu family before, if it weren't for the lord's lightning speed, Lujiang County would be very rare." ”

Through Gu Yong, Qin Fan further understood how powerful the Shi clan was in this era.

Thinking of Lujiang County, Qin Fan was a little happy for a while.

Before he entered the house, he smelled a strong smell of Chinese medicine.

Walking into a room, Qin Fan saw an old man who was lying on the bed, looking like he was about to die.

"Qin Hou."

When he saw Qin Fan, Zhou Shu was about to get out of bed and salute, but Qin Fan hugged him and said with concern: "Zhou Taishou is very sick, so the false ceremony will be waived." ”

Qin Fan is still Qin Hou in name, a concubine, and Zhou Shu really wants to salute when he sees Qin Fan.

Zhou Shu coughed twice, and said weakly: "I can't greet you, I hope Qin Hou will forgive me." ”

"Zhou Taishou, don't say this, you can recuperate with peace of mind."

Qin Fan was originally a little dissatisfied with Zhou Shu's inaction, but seeing this, he suddenly felt that this old man was really pitiful. Not to mention being set aside, I'm still so sick.

Zhou Shu looked at the few people behind Qin Fan, Qin Fan understood what he meant, and ordered: "Zhong Kang, Shi Yan, you go out and guard, and no one is allowed to approach." ”

"Whoa."

After the two went down, Qin Fan said: "These are my henchmen, you can trust them." ”

Lu Su touched his nose and was moved in his heart.

Zhou Shu sighed and said, "I, the Taishou of Yuzhang County, deserve to be a bag, if Qin Hou wants to take it, just take it." ”

Qin Fan didn't expect to be so straightforward, and he was a little difficult to talk to for a while.

Zhou Shu continued: "I don't have any rights in my hands, except for being too devoid of my duties, almost all local government affairs are controlled by the Zhou family and the Wang family. If Qin Hou wants to master Yuzhang County, he has to settle these two first. ”

Zhou Shu spoke intermittently, Qin Fan was uncomfortable listening to it, and interrupted him: "Don't say it yet, I'll treat you." ”

Zhou Shu was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Qin Hou will cure the disease?" ”

Lu Su also looked at Qin Fan in surprise.

Gu Yong said with a smile: "It's not just that it can cure diseases, but its medical skills are also amazing." ”

Qin Fan didn't speak, and took out a pack of silver needles from his arms.

Gu Yong hurriedly went to the fire,

After stirring the fire, Qin Fan said: "There may be some pain, Zhou Taishou has to endure it." ”

Actually, it doesn't hurt, but before you treat the disease, you have to say something to someone, right?

Zhou Shu said with a complicated face: "My illness is a long-term illness, I'm afraid it can't be cured, Qin Hou still don't bother." ”
