Guo Dudu saw that Hou Jun had almost eaten before he said, "Nephew Hou Xian, when I saw you for the first time, I was surprised that your appearance was so similar to one of my old friends, and your eyebrows, nose, mouth and even body were eight points similar everywhere, so I was stunned when I saw you, I didn't believe that things in the world would be so coincidental, but I just let me meet it, you say it's strange." ”

"How did the father of the adult and the little man meet?"

"I was originally an official in the same dynasty as your father Chen Guogong, so it is not difficult to get acquainted. However, because of the struggle for interests and power, the people who are officials in the same dynasty protect each other's self-esteem, are like-minded, and have the same feelings as brothers, and they are only two or three out of ten. ”

Guo Dudu took a sip of wine, and then said, "Your father led the troops to defeat Gaochang back then, and before leaving, he recommended Xia Guan to Chaoyan to serve as the governor of Xizhou, and in the past three years, I have been missing him all the time. ”

Hou Jun was silent when he heard this, and only asked for a long time, "Then where is Lord Guo's second surprise?" ”

"The second surprise is that your age and appearance are very similar to a person, he is the senior pastoral supervisor of Liu Zhongmu."

"If you are similar to your father, it is a matter of natural blood, but after all, there is a difference in age. But you and Gao Mu Jian are not only of the same age, but also have the same appearance and figure, and the difference is only in manners and temperament, which cannot but be amazing. From this point of view, the two surprises of Ben Governor after seeing you should be in the first place. ”

Since Hou Jun arrived in Xizhou, he has only seen this high pastoral supervisor twice, and both times he rode a horse and hurried around, and he didn't even look at the front, let alone what he looked like. If it weren't for the governor talking about it, he really didn't know at all, "Pastor Gao came to Xizhou yesterday and rode his little nephew's horse, I don't know where he is now, and he hasn't returned." ”

"He's dead."

Hou Jun was shocked, the two had nothing to do with each other, but when he heard the news of his death, he was still not very comfortable.

The governor said, "The matter is complicated, the virtuous nephew does not need to ask more, and listen to me tell you slowly." Guo Dudu put down his wine glass and spoke slowly.

It turned out that Guo Dudu, as a governor, not only oversaw the military and political power of Xizhou, but also served as the supervisor and pastoral envoy of the state, and the five ranches in the state were under his control. After this snowstorm that has not been encountered for many years, Guo Zhidu sent people to various pastures to learn about the losses after the snow disaster, and then all localities reported the situation one after another, and the two people who went to Liuzhong Ranch also brought the pastoral supervisor with them. But there was an accident in the middle of the road.

This high pastoral supervisor is riding Hou Jun's charcoal. This is a hot-tempered horse, originally very unhappy to leave Hou Jun, plus Gao Mu Jian was anxious, it was inevitable that he would whip a few more whips, and he was suddenly taken off by the charcoal fire.

Gao Mu Jian had just been overpowered, and he was also used as a gun by Yue and Lu, and he was already unhappy, so after being thrown off the horse, he chased after the horse and then a few whips, and was kicked in the chest by the charcoal fire.

At that time, Gao Mu Jian sprayed hot blood on the snow. The two officials hurriedly came to inspect the shepherd's injuries, but they were out of breath and not in breath. Unbuttoned his official robe and inspected, his chest was kicked by the charcoal fire and collapsed, and he couldn't even cry out in pain.

I wanted to pull the charcoal, but I couldn't hold it anymore, so I opened my hooves and ran back without looking back.

The two had no choice but to carry the high pastor to their horses and slowly return to the governor's mansion. When he came down, Gao Mu Jian had been hard for a long time.

Hearing this, Hou Jun was immediately scared in his heart, he didn't expect that the charcoal fire would cause such a big disaster and kick an official of the dynasty to death, so waiting for the fate of the charcoal fire is not something he can control anymore.

"This is an accident, I just need to follow the book, find out the fate, and play it truthfully," Listening to the governor's words, Hou Jun couldn't help but think of today's scenes in the past, it seems that this Guo Dudu, because of this reason, sent people to the village to find himself.

So, where did the charcoal fire go? In terms of time, I should have seen it last night. In addition, why did the Governor make a mysterious case that no one wanted to know?

"There is another reason for this, this Gao Mu Supervisor, named Gao Jun, has the same name as you, he is also the son and nephew of a friend of mine in the court, Guo was entrusted by his family to let him go to Xizhou. This Gao Jun, who is twenty years old, misbehaves at home, frequently causes trouble, and does not listen to the family discipline many times. I heard that he was first thrown to Yangzhou to make a brocade workshop, but who knew that he was not serious, and he also seduced the only daughter of Yangzhou Governor Shi Li Xiyu. Miss Li was looking for death and life, and she hanged herself and cut her wrists with poison. Li Xianyu was angry, and wanted to sue Emperor Taizong, but the Gao family got the news and intercepted Li Xianyu halfway, and it took a thousand things to suppress it. I saw that this Gao Jun couldn't stay in Yangzhou, but he still didn't feel at ease elsewhere. It happened that he got Xizhou that year, and he knew that I was in charge here, so he threw him to this place where the sky was high and the sky was wide, and let him do whatever he wanted, and he didn't care about him. ”

"I wanted to detain you and ask for the reason, and even the horse and people will be handed over to the Gao family, and I only need to take the responsibility of poor supervision, and it will be fine. But as soon as I saw you just now, a thought jumped out like a flash of lightning, as long as you follow my plan, it will really kill two birds with one stone. ”

Who is Hou Jun, after thinking about it, he immediately understood, and he said to the governor, "The little nephew already understands what the adults mean, but if I don't change my name, I can't obey my fate." ”

It's better to say that he is a dignified man, and he will never put on a dumb name. He thought about the Liu family in his heart, but he didn't say it.

Guo Dudu seemed to know what he was thinking, and he was not in a hurry, but said slowly, "I have this intention, you and him are completely different except for their physical temperament, wearing clothes and looking at their appearance, no one can see through it at a glance, not to mention that his family has ignored him for some years, I am not doing this for myself, I will truthfully report Gao Jun's death, and I will not complain too much about me when I want to come to his house." But if you follow my plan, I won't be able to explain it to anyone if it doesn't happen in the future. Uncle Wei really thinks more about you. ”

"Your father was beheaded all over the house because of his collusion with the crown prince, and I was only lucky enough to protect myself, but I couldn't do anything about him," Guo Dudu's eyes turned red and said, "If there is no chance of chance, I am afraid that you will not be able to magnify your father's brilliant achievements again in this life, just imagine, when he was dying, he did not seek heaven and earth, but why did he only ask you to be alone?" ”

Hou Jun fell into deep thought, and Liu Shi flashed through his mind, preventing him from thinking further.

"Even if you encounter amnesty, it will only remove the guilt, and it will be impossible to claim your father's title. Even if you have great ability, those children of the princess are like carp crossing the river, where can it be your turn? ”

Du Du's words, little by little, penetrated into Hou Jun's heart like water.

He remembered Liu's only silk pajamas, and the shack she lived in now, which should not belong to her, she should be better protected, for the sake of her father, for the sake of her little brother who had always loved him, and for the sake of herself, she secretly swore that night that no matter what happened, she would protect Liu's like a man.

And what can she give her now? When he heard the governor say again, "On the contrary, it is estimated that even your horse will be broken and die", he said loudly, "Uncle Guo, everything is up to you." ”

When Guo Dudu heard this, he laughed, "In this way, the son can be taught!" ”

Ever since Hou Jun was taken away, the Liu family has been restless, and they can't think of anything big for the governor of a state to send someone to find them, and she and Hou Jun are just prisoners of the empire. In the future, if the crime is removed, it will only be a civilian.

It seems that it is really as I thought, but it is just a matter of the horse, and when I think about it like this, I am a little more down-to-earth.

The bowl of porridge that Hou Jun boiled in the morning was put aside, and he didn't have the heart to drink it. I don't know where there is anything I can't think of, so I think about it again, but I can't understand it.

In this way, from morning to noon, from noon to evening, she suddenly heard a familiar sound of horses' hooves outside, she thought that Hou Jun had returned, and rushed to the road, only to see that it was a charcoal fire.

Tanhuo knew that the Liu family was Hou Jun's person, and he didn't struggle, and let the Liu family take it, like a child who had done something wrong.

Liu tied up the charcoal fire, and made a mistake of thinking, the horse came back, and the person was not yet visible, that is, it was not the horse's problem? I was getting more and more restless.

Thinking about it, it was dark. Then I heard two horses coming slowly and stopping outside their own door. The Liu family listened carefully, and one person was Luo Quan, and said with some slurred words, "Steward Luo, it's just a girl...... You can't be angry if you don't see her any better. ”

The other man, too, drank too much wine, and said unevenly, "I am not thin on her, and the silver that flows from my pocket to her belly all year round is not a thousand taels, but eight hundred taels." ”

Luo Quan said, "It's not that Lord Lu is better than you...... Which woman is not looking for a hard backer. ”

"Whew! Isn't it okay for my tall family? Not all of them are seven-grade officials. ”

"Hehe, if you are a tall adult, young and heroic, compared with Lord Lu, you will make a judgment, but you are you, Gao is a tall adult, that Xu can't be, Xu girl is not stupid."

Liu Shi listened to the two of them inside, and he had no intention of leaving, he was extremely bored, and it was difficult to go out to stop the two.

The meaning of what they said, the Liu family knows, and the heart says that this Luo Quan is really not a good person. In the future, you must tell Hou Jun to stay away from him.

Thinking of Hou Jun, my heart was even more restless. At this time, I only heard Luo Quan knock on the door, "Brother, brother, are you at home?" ”

Liu didn't want to pay attention to it, but the sound of banging on the door didn't stop, so he opened the chai door and saw Luo Quan and the thin man outside the door, drinking a little unsteadily. The two horses were put aside, and she lowered her head to gnaw the dry grass in the snow, she said, "Hou Jun went to Xizhou, and he hasn't come back yet, and he will talk about it when he comes back."

Luo Quan stretched out his hand and pressed the door against it and said, "He went to Xizhou?" Didn't you go there? He saw the charcoal fire tied to the small room on the side, "Hey, Master Gao is back, he, what is he doing in Xizhou?" ”

Steward Luo on the side has not spoken, today, he brought Luo Quan, brought silver, and rushed to Huangcui Lou in a hurry, but said that Miss Xu was not there, and when he inquired, Miss Xu went to Lord Lu's mansion, he thought that Lord Lu was not on the horse farm? After inquiring again, it was Lord Lu who gathered friends to enjoy the snow today, and Miss Xu went to cheer.

This Miss Xu is not the top brand in Huang Cuilou, but she is also quite beautiful, and what makes Steward Luo unforgettable is her sturdy body plate, which is facing the taste of Steward Luo.

In addition, Miss Xu will snort as soon as she touches the bed, and as soon as she snorts, Steward Luo will be soft, and he can't wait to give her all the money.

Miss Xu seemed to be able to grasp him, and as soon as he went, his eyes only aimed at Steward Luo's pocket, and although Lu Mujian was older, after all, he was an official in the court, how could he be compared to a housekeeper.

Steward Luo didn't meet him, so he pulled Luo Quan to drink some stuffy wine in the tavern, and looked at the day after the handover, but he didn't see Miss Xu go back to Huangcui Building, and broke into the door of Lord Lu's mansion with the strength of wine, Luo Quan couldn't pull it, and the two were cut back by the Lu family's family with a stick.

Luo Quan said, "Steward Luo, I'm a little worthless for you, isn't it just a promise, I can't promise you, why bother to be angry, it's not me who blows, there is a woman, I keep you to see it, and I don't know what Miss Xu is." ”

"Who?"

Now there is no need to ask, this woman is far away in the sky, close in front of her. As soon as she pushed open the chai door and showed her face, Steward Luo's heart flew into the chai door.

He saw a small oil lamp lit in the chai door, this woman stood at the door, with the light on her back, her figure was not so exaggerated and full, but it was just right, the faint curve of the waist was slender and moving, and then looked at the face, the bright light, so quiet that it could not be blasphemed.

Luo Quan looked at Steward Luo's straightforward appearance, and was very proud in his heart, and hurriedly said to the Liu family, "Brother and sister, this is Gao Mu Supervisor...... The tall man's housekeeper, Luo ...... Gauze...... Luo ......"

"Under the Rhode knife, the Rhode knife", Steward Luo said busily, "just came back from Liuzhong County, take a look, take a look."

Liu leaned down slightly and saluted, and said, "The little woman's family is not here, Steward Luo has something to ask you to talk about later." "I want to close the door.

Steward Luo personally started this time, covered the chaimen, and said, "Actually, there is nothing else, but this time I came back from Daxian, and I thought that there was nothing unique in this village, so I brought some back for you,"

Liu saw him hurriedly walk back to his horse, touched it from his coat for a while, and when he came back, he grabbed a red, green, and green soft towel in his hand, stuffed it into Liu's hand and said, "Don't be too little, I often go back to Liuzhongcheng, next time there will be a better ......."

Liu Shi looked down at the things in his hand, and as soon as he raised his hand, he threw it on Steward Luo's face, and said with a change of face, "You, the housekeeper, are still walking in front of the Pastoral Supervisor, why don't you know anything!" We are not related to you, you don't have something to give to your mother, but you are stuffed here, who is rare! I advise you to do your duty, and save yourself from tripped over a stone and broke your leg while walking in the middle of the night. Regardless of the two of them, he closed the door and went inside.

She returned to the shack and took out a dagger used by Hou Jun to chop wood from under the futon, and her heart suddenly jumped. After listening to it for a while, there was no movement, and then he was relieved, but tears fell, and he shouted in his heart, "Hou Jun, when will you come back." ”
