Verse 184 The Buddha came to pick people
This night, Baojun is destined not to be peaceful.
The county commander Fang Buping walked in the small hall behind the official office, looking a little anxious, standing in front of him, except for his cousin Fang Buting's expression was quite calm, several henchmen were submissive and did not dare to speak up. Yang Yaren was beheaded by Shi Jingsun in court, which couldn't help but make him creepy...... If Sima Yuyue would be a thorn in his heart, then Liu Chang appeared with him, and this thorn was stained with poison.
My subordinates always know something here.
Someone told him about Li Hu, Liu Chang and Shi Jingsun's worship.
He then moved his gaze to his cousin Fang Buting.
Shi Jing Sun Mou Sima's position, it was Fang Buting who accepted bribes, and when he came forward, he stared at Fang Buting, just to know how Fang Buting would explain to him.
Fang Buting smiled bitterly: "Pingzhi." Shi Jingsun sent me money to be true, and I didn't hide it from you. What did we say at the time? He has military merits, but he has no power behind him, and he is always easier to control than those clansmen. Who knew that he would fall to the Liu family and be so blatant? ”
Fang Buping smiled bitterly.
The two brothers were calculating at the time.
At the moment, Shi Jingsun doesn't take Shangguan in his eyes, but the army was brought out by him, but it is not as good as those clans, and those clans always take care of some rules. And this time, he gave people the impression of being an unscrupulous martial artist. Fang Buting thought for a moment and said, "This person can't stay." Fang Buping sneered and said, "I don't know if I can't stay?" It's a crime. But he had the county army in his hands...... I can't act rashly. Such. You set off immediately and bring some money to see Li Pan Li Zhonglang of the state army. We are all from Naoshu. ”
Fang Buting hesitated for a moment and said softly, "Pingzhi." You have to be calm. Li Pan suffered a defeat, tuged the river, and provoked public anger in the place, not the time to stick it up. I heard that one of Tian Qimin's troops was stationed around, so why didn't I ask for help and invite them to be stationed around the county town? ”
Fang Bu calmed down, thought for a while, and immediately said, "You send someone to bring me Monk Daolin." The project of repairing Wufu Temple is huge, and we cannot leave manpower and material resources into the hands of others...... Especially their surname Liu. Go now. By the way, bring me Gongfang Li. In a hurry, don't alarm others. ”
……
It is different from the atmosphere of the prefectural government.
Liu's mansion also has a bit of a joyful atmosphere.
Liu Guanglu listened to Liu Chang's story quietly, but did not show anger.
Facing his father, who has always been strict, Liu Chang trembled, suspecting that it was a prelude to the coming storm.
He thought about it, if he wanted to be beaten, he would rush to find his grandmother as soon as possible. Liu Guanglu sighed and said, "I haven't said anything similar to Shi Sima. We, the Liu family, have not dared to be lawless enough not to take the county order in our eyes. If you bow to Shi Jingsun, it will be sloppy. It can't be helped, we always have to have our own people to lead the troops...... Since he regards soldiers as forbidden and does not hesitate to issue a county order, we are in a hurry to clear up the relationship? Forget it. He is also one of the best people in the county, and you are a small person, how can you have no plans, you are not equal to others, what can you say to others? Forget it. Keep a certain distance from him in the future, not too close, not too far away. That Li Hu? It's not coming to the county. He wants to build a temple and doesn't have enough financial resources? When he came in the next year, your grandmother saw it, but I didn't, so let him come once in the next two days. When I saw someone, listened to his words, and watched his deeds, I knew whether I should speak for him or not. ”
Liu Chang was extremely surprised and shouted, "Dad." You're not angry today? Don't beat people. ”
Liu Guanglu smiled bitterly: "What are you doing beating you?" It's not something you can handle properly, and it's useful to beat you? You're a pawn of someone else...... Sworn brothers? Li Hu I don't know, Shi Jingsun, why do people worship you and play with you as a gentleman? Your father and I can't be harsh on you. Be more mindful of everything. He said again: "You want to go back to your uncle's house, he wants to resign, and everyone pushes him to fight against Li Pan, and it is difficult for him, but can he retreat?" If you retreat, you can't offend Li Pan? If you go, just ask him, our Liu clan has dozens of people in the state, can he retreat? ”
Liu Chang let out an "oh" and turned around to leave.
Liu Guanglu stopped him again and said, "Go to the barracks to find Shi Jingsun, bring a message to him, and let him hurry up and make the dead man's crime true." ”
Liu Chang looked at the sky and didn't want to go, but he had to walk out.
He took two family members with him, and arrived at Shi Jingsun's residence after a while, but when he asked, he was in the barracks, so he turned around and went to the barracks. When I arrived at the barracks, I was able to report that the lights were shining on the small school field in the camp, and dozens of big men were pulled out of the ground, lying on the bench, and the sergeant behind them was whipping, and they were beaten with thunder. Liu Chang's eyelids jumped sharply, and he found that they were not shouting, but only humming, while Shi Jingsun held a horsewhip, took the master, guards, and henchmen, sat on the circle chair and watched, and shouted: "Brother." What are you doing here? ”
Shi Jingsun's face softened, turned around and beckoned to him, and replied, "Brother is marching the law." Come here, brother, and find a chair for my brother. ”
Liu Chang reluctantly sat next to him and told his father what he had brought.
Shi Jingsun hooked his fingers to a member of the army, whispered for a moment, and when someone went to recruit, he turned his head and said, "Virtuous brother." Li Hu's origin. Is it really that simple? ”
Liu Chang smiled: "It's not that complicated. Yi County is not far away. ”
Shi Jingsun asked rhetorically: "According to what you said, he has recently made a fortune and opened a stone quarry, but how can he afford to raise many heroes?" Those people are fierce generals. ”
Liu Chang said with a smile: "Li Hu is a person who came back from Dongxia, and he just hired some Dongxia people. Dongxia people, both soldiers and people, as for the fierce generals, I don't think so, how can they compare with the sergeants of the eldest brother? ”
Shi Jingsun shook his head.
He said: "I have fought more than a dozen battles, and I will never be mistaken, they are all veterans of the battlefield." You guard against Li Hu. ”
Liu Chang smiled.
A look in his eyes seems to say that you are much more dangerous than Li Hu.
At the end of the execution in front of him, someone was pushed up, pulled out his clothes again, and kept beating. Liu Chang couldn't help but say, "Brother." How long are you going to fight? One stick after another, and the soldiers were transferred for the one surnamed Yang? ”
Shi Jingsun said: "Yes. Soldier. How can it be lightly adjusted. Whoever shouts, they all run, what am I raising them for? Look at them and see if they have a long memory. ”
Liu Chang wanted to leave, thought about it for a long time, and excused himself: "My father is going to see Li Hu tomorrow, I have to go back to sleep, and I will go to him early tomorrow morning." The time to turn back is set. Eat together again. ”
He said to go and yawned. After leaving the camp, walking his horse all the way, he met the soldiers who were patrolling the night halfway, and others tactfully admonished: "Liu Gongzi, why are you still running around?" The yamen is saying that the imperial court is negotiating peace with Gao Xian, and the exact news has not yet come back, and once the peace is not reached, it will be fought, and it is not safe at night. Liu Chang casually gave some silver taels to drink tea, mingled with them, and the last person kicked it down, and said with a smile: "What is safe or not." Your mother just wants to say that I violated the night curfew, right? Hurry up and roll the calf. ”
The captain at the head reminded: "Let them patrol, let's play cards together in Cuixiangyuan?" ”
Liu Chang smiled, his resistance was gone, and he shouted: "Fight." Walk. Call someone from the workshop. My brother came to the county and wanted to get some work, so you sent him and asked him by the way. ”
Sit down in the Cuixiang Building.
Gongfang Li, who was sent to call, was in a dilemma.
On the one hand, Liu Chang shouted at him to play cards, and on the other hand, the county commander shouted at him to do something. Li Gongcao thought about it for a long time, but he slipped through the back door and went to Liu Chang to play cards...... He is not contemptuous of the county order, in the middle of the night, when Shangguan shouts, he may have to work all night, let his family say that he is not at home, and he can deceive the past, but Liu Chang and these people can't be deceived, once they don't show up this time, they will catch up with Ming'er, and a large number of people will say that they can't move themselves.
arrived in time, a few people from the government gathered together, everyone wanted to write drinks and dishes, shouted a few fans, cheered up their spirits, and planned to gamble at night. When Li Gongcao arrived, he threw up a bag of money, rolled up his sleeves, and shouted: "When the lord called me, I lied to him that he was not at home...... That, I slapped her directly and told her to sleep honestly. ”
Liu Chang was stunned: "It's so late." Fang Fujun is still looking for you? How dare you not go? ”
Li Gongcao smiled bitterly and said, "What can happen to the workshop?" I can only say that in the middle of the night, who gave him a gift, he called me to go and explain how much work I will give to people tomorrow. ”
This is all tacit, a few people laughed, this kind of thing, Li Gongcao can indeed not go, tomorrow people will come to the door with the gentleman's note, you run, that is, you have to get a word, and you have to go home quickly.
A few people sat down, and after a few rounds, the old bustard came running with his sleepy eyes and told, "Liu Gongzi." Liu Gongzi. Monk Dowling is looking for you. Why did he come here to find you? How does he know you're all there? ”
As he was talking, someone had already brought Monk Dowling.
As soon as Monk Daolin came, he saw Li Gongcao and said in amazement: "Li Cheng, you are here?" He was suspicious and suspicious, but he quickly circled Liu Chang upstairs, went to a private room, waited for tea, saw Liu Chang thinking about the gambling table, and whispered: "Your sworn brother Li Hu came to the county to build a temple...... Do you know that the prince called me there today and asked me? That's why I came to you in the middle of the night. ”
Liu Chang hurriedly thanked him and whispered, "What did Fujun say?" ”
Monk Dowling whispered, "He has someone." It's a Moban from Zhizhou, called Liang Wendou. I can't speak for your brother, so I told you that whoever builds a temple needs to be related to the Buddha. Look at the last few days, can you let me meet Li Hu? If he believes in my Buddha, then there will be no problem. ”
Liu Chang was stunned and said: "You don't buy Fujun's account, so you want to use Li Hu?" ”
Monk Daolin smiled: "Yes." As long as he is willing to have a relationship with the Buddha. Li Hu? ”
He hooked his fingers to Liu Chang, lowered his voice and said, "According to my people." Li Hu's relationship in Dongxia is very hard, and the Dongxia people are more difficult than us Central Plains people. Use him to preach to your advantage. As he spoke, he got up, packed up his robes and clogs, and said, "Li Hu entered the city and went to meet with many Dongxia people. ”
Liu Chang was taken aback, got up and said, "Dowling." I don't even know what he's doing, how do you know? Are you trying to remind me that the people of Dongxia will be detrimental to the government? ”
Daolin sang and said with a smile: "The Buddha is omnipresent, and nothing in this world can hide from the Buddha...... Anyway, I don't like ink very much, whoever builds a temple naturally wants the Buddha to choose. ”
