Chapter 52: I've Heard It

"Whoa, whoa, whoa......"

"Phew......"

"Huh?" Xu Qing touched his pocket, sighed and said, "The betel nut is gone again." ”

In less than two hours, Xu Qing chewed all the dozens of betel nuts in his pocket. This betel nut is soft and soft, and although it is chewed a lot, it is not wounded at all.

"Bored, why don't you come ......" Xu Qing raised his cheeks, looking at the endless snowy fields, he patted his chest with his guards and said okay, before it gets dark, the county government will definitely send someone over.

"Huh?" One of the guards strangely pointed to two slowly rising signs in the distance and said, "Lord, there's someone there!" ”

Xu Qingteng stood up and looked out, only to see that on the two signs, one was silent, and the other said avoidance.

The two cards gradually revealed the whole picture, only to see that it was followed by the official title card, and then there were officials with iron chains, wooden sticks, sheath whips, gourds, tail guns, black fans, yellow umbrellas......

Xu Qing couldn't help but sigh when he looked at it, he, the county uncle, only brought a few more guards when he traveled. And at the county level, there are so many flashy things, Xu Qing secretly swore in his heart that next time he came out, he must have such a big show, and it was best to take a few tigers and leopards out to slip around.

In addition to the accompanying guard of honor, Xu Qing heard the sound of "bang" again, and there was even a "gong to open the way".

When the state and county officials go out, they sound the gong and play it three or seven times, which is called the three-stick gong and the seven-stick gong, which means "quick avoidance" and "military and civilian people avoid"

If a civil official at the provincial level travels, he will play nine rings and call the nine gongs, which means "officials, soldiers, and civilians are all avoided". When the senior officials who control the military attache come out, they have to hit eleven gongs, which means that "civil and military officials, military and civilian people, etc., should be avoided."

There are also feudal kings, superb and other big officials, and when they travel, they play thirteen gongs, which means "civil and military officials, officials, military and civilians, etc.

Xu Qing heard the sound of the gong, and also heard someone shouting according to the rhythm of the gong: "If the gentleman is not heavy, he is not powerful".

The "seven gongs" that ring seven times when the county order travels, and according to the rhythm, can only shout the seven-character sentence "If the gentleman is not heavy, he is not mighty"; In the same way, Sima Tingshi shouted "Zi is gentle and powerful, mighty but not fierce, respectful and peaceful"; The superintendent shouted "Respect and faith, use sparingly and love people, so that the people can be timely".

This Luo County is only a lower county, and the first official of the county is ranked in the eighth grade, which is only comparable to the county lieutenant of other counties. According to the usual practice, he could only beat the three gongs and shout the three words "quick evasion". Now shouting seven, that's over-spec. However, Luoxian Mountain is far away from the emperor, and he is in the countryside, and the county is already an official at the top of the sky, even if the gong is sounded thirteen times, no one will feel bad.

Xu Qing looked at the county magistrate and his party who were getting closer and closer, and had already sent someone to call the villagers. Before the magistrate arrived, Luobu's father took the young offspring of the village and guarded the door with a hunting bow and a firewood knife.

Xu Qing asked Luobu's father for betel nut, sat and chewed it carefully, feeling the sweetness and aroma. When I stood up again, the gong sounded at the door.

"Hey, the county magistrate!" A neutral voice shouted: "Hurry up and call the witch mother, the village elders, and the old people in the clan have come out to meet the county lord!" ”

Luobu's father wanted to go out, but Xu Qing stopped him and returned to the outside: "The old witch mother of the village is not in the village, and the old people in the village don't know Chinese. ”

There was a quiet moment outside the door, and the voice shouted again: "Send the most capable person in your village to come out, and the county lord has important matters to discuss." ”

At this time, Xu Qing let go of Luobu's father and whispered a few words in his ear. I saw Luobu's father walk up and shout: "County master, when you come on weekdays, our village doesn't dare not do its best to respect you, but today it can't ......"

"Humph! Why not, this immortal looks at your broken village, what is there to be tired! Chen Zhixian walked out of the sedan chair and pointed to the people in the village and scolded.

Father Luobu continued to accompany the crime: "Alas, wronged, county master, it's not me who refutes your face." If you don't bring some gifts today, you won't be able to enter this door! ”

Chen Zhixian was stunned, and he didn't understand Luobu's father's words for a while. I am still muttering in my heart, it is a place to pick up guests on weekdays, and I refuse people on the grounds of poor preparation, how can I blame the guests for not being prepared today. Could it be that the snail man spoke Chinese and made a slip of the tongue for a while?

Yes, it must be a slip of the tongue, this group of Luo people wanted to send me with money when they were dying, but they said the wrong thing. But I, Chen Zhixian, am a person who is about to become an immortal, so Qian is a kind of land and rice, and vulgar things prevaricate me, didn't he scold me back then?

Thinking of this, Chen Zhixian was so angry that he said with a righteous face: "What a bold man, he still dares to bribe this immortal now!" ”

Father Luobu pretended to be aggrieved and said: "Master Zhixian, you are really wronged, I don't want to bribe." ”

Chen Zhixian became even more angry when he heard this, you want to bribe because you know that you are in trouble, you are afraid of me Chen Zhixian, and now you are not even ready to bribe, don't you take me Chen Zhixian in your eyes? Hmph, this immortal wants to become an immortal, and he dares not to take it seriously!

Chen Zhixian said angrily: "This Luotou Village is harboring criminals, intending to make trouble, come here, take it down for me!" ”

"Ho hey!" All the officials carried water and fire sticks.

"Don't wow...... "Daddy Luobu shouted, "There are big officials in our village, and there are big officials!" Whoever collides and can't eat and walk around......"

"What? Are there other officials in Luotou Village? Chen Zhixian hesitated, although he was "about to" become an immortal, he still didn't succeed, did he? Since it is still a mortal body, it should be taken seriously. If you really meet other officials, it's not good to offend.

But Chen Zhixian didn't think that there were many big officials in this Luotou Village, at most he was sent by his county or state, or he passed by on a mission.

He said disdainfully: "What level is the village official?" Can't you tell which is bigger and which is small......"

Chen Zhixian despised Luobu's father, and all the officials also laughed a few times in response to the occasion.

Luobu's father laughed, this time he stabbed Shi Chen Zhixian, he said: "The old man is more than sixty, how old is your little doll, the bridge I crossed is longer than the road you walked, do you say I can't tell the size?" ”

Chen Zhixian couldn't think of any big officials passing by if he wanted to break his head, but he said that Luobu's father slapped his swollen face and became fat, pretending to be there, and he sneered: "Haha, old donkey, I'm not afraid of the wind flashing my tongue!" ”

Father Luobu shook his head and said, "Little doll, don't say anything else, at least this one in Luotou Village is more than twice as big as you." ”

Chen Zhixian saw that he was still like this, and said impatiently: "Give you three breaths of time, if you don't tell the truth, don't blame me for beating you eighty boards!" ”

Luobu Daddy said slowly: "The one who lives in my village is appointed by the Holy Father, given a fish talisman, and enshrined as the county uncle, and now he is ordered to return to the dynasty to report on the history of Cangzhou, Lord Xu Qingxu!" ”

Chen Zhixian listened, and his mouth was open and he couldn't close it. This Cangzhou Thorn Shi Xu, he has already heard of it!
