There are poems: Fang Feixie goes to hate, Xia Mu is yin and lovely. Regardless of the scorching heat of midsummer, today Zhang Xian will escort the grain and grass to Ezhou, outside the huge Zhang Mansion, Zhang Xian's father and mother, mother-in-law, father-in-law, and five uncles all came to reluctantly bid farewell, Zhang Xian is also explaining things to the family one by one, there are six hundred cars and horses parked in front of them, and the cars are immediately inserted with various flags, fluttering in the wind, looking at it from afar, it is magnificent. A hundred family members led by Niu Dameng, with their heads held high, neatly guarded around the grain and grass, and went out of important intersections, and there were also family members who set up cards to guard. In stark contrast, the county government sent ten soldiers to be responsible for the security protection of grain and grass escorts, in Zhang Xian's eyes, the number of soldiers sent by the county government is like a joke, and it is clearly symbolic, but these soldiers are still sitting crookedly on the ground, looking lazy and lazy, and weak.

Zhang Xian looked at the fire, these ten soldiers, really want to meet some mountain bandits, not to mention protecting these grain and grass, not to be a drag, even if you are lucky, Zhang Xian was about to send these county soldiers back, and from a distance, he saw the county commander with the county captain Daniel Zhang, came to Zhang Xian, and said:

"Today, on behalf of Yangzhou, Zhang Liangliang escorted the grain and grass to Ezhou, which is a great matter, and this official is here to send him off. You also know that the Tartar Koubian has been troubled recently, and the imperial court is also in trouble, and soldiers are being recruited everywhere. So, this guard is a little nervous, but these ten county soldiers are all strong, and they can be ten with one, and the other party's hundreds of blind thieves are still not a problem. The official's manpower is now unusable, and he was originally reluctant to send you Zhang Liangguan, but we are all contributing to the court and the emperor, no matter how difficult it is, the official himself will also send soldiers to Zhang Liangguan, and when he really wants to encounter danger, he can also command Zhang Liangguan's family to fight! This matter is related to the safety of grain and grass, I believe that Zhang Liangguan will not disappoint the emperor and the court! I wonder if the grain and grass of the Zhang grain and salary officer are ready? ”

Zhang Xian understood, these ten soldiers, it is estimated that the county official wants to forcibly plant the hammer in his team, and it may even be specially to add to the chaos, Zhang Xian said unhurriedly: "The lower official has thanked the county for his care, since the county has said so, the lower official should obey the order." The grain and grass escorted this time is the imperial court, and the lower officials are favored by the imperial court, so they naturally have to do their best to do a good job of the imperial mission, and never let the imperial court and the emperor down. ”

The county order didn't wait for Zhang Xian to finish speaking, and his eyes looked at the dense grain carts, but what was extremely strange was that he only saw about forty percent of the carts loaded with things immediately, and they were all covered with sackcloth and tied with hemp rope, so he couldn't see what was in the cart at all. The other carriages and horses were empty, and they didn't pretend to be anything, and the county commander was overjoyed, but he pretended to be angry and said:

"Zhang Liangguan, today is going to escort the grain and grass to the border gate, and you still have sixty percent of the empty car, but the official has allocated you all the silver for the purchase of grain and grass, where is the grain and grass? Shouldn't I give the official an explanation? Otherwise, the official knows you, but the king is ruthless! ”

Zhang Xian sneered in his heart, what a traitor, pretending to be quite similar, now is the time to see who has the best means, and said:

"Don't worry, the county lord must also know that according to the six hundred chariots and horses of the lower officials, he will not be able to pull out the two thousand four hundred stones of grain and grass no matter what, and now he can't buy the chariots and horses even if he has the silver of white flowers. However, if you can't complete the emperor's errand, you will be punished by the law of the country, and the lower officials know the stakes well. In desperation, the lower official had to ask the court's father-in-law for help, fortunately the father-in-law agreed, as long as the lower official brought some thin gifts, to Ezhou, naturally there were 2,400 stone grain and grass handed over to the lower official, absolutely not to delay the county's major affairs! ”

Zhang Xian looked at the shocked county order and his cousin Daniel Zhang, and said to his father casually:

"Father, the gift that the child prepared for his father-in-law has been brought, today I will send someone to send a letter to my father-in-law, and my father-in-law will understand when he reads it, and when the time comes, it will be up to his old man to decide!"

Zhang Xian's father nodded, took out a letter, and asked a family member to ride a horse first.

The county order and Daniel Zhang looked at each other, but Daniel Zhang's face soon turned pale, and the county order also knew that there must be something strange in it, and for the time being, it was not clear whether what Zhang Xian said was true or false, but he was also afraid that Zhang Xian was a meritorious man after all, if some teachers and friends in the court were still good to say, if his father-in-law was really a high-ranking official, then it would be troublesome, although there were people in the court, but it would involve the struggle between the DPRK and China, standing in line, and even party struggle, and it would be extremely troublesome to deal with, the county order turned around and called Daniel Zhang, and whispered:

"County Lieutenant Zhang, your cousin-in-law is a high-ranking official in the court? Why haven't you ever heard of it? ”

Daniel Zhang also couldn't figure out the situation, hasn't this cousin been repented of marrying after Flying Huang Tengda? Now why do you say that the father-in-law of the court wants to help him? I had to tell the truth:

"Lord County, this Zhang Xianyue was originally the champion of the Jiachen Branch in the fourth year of Li Zong Chunyou, and after the champion, the official Zongzheng Shaoqing, the secret pavilion was repaired, Fujian was promoted, the right servant of the Ministry of Officials, the tired official Xuanfeng doctor, and the bachelor of Duanming Palace. At that time, with the consent of his subordinate grandfather, Liumengyan married the little girl to this Zhang Xian, but later Liumengyan won the champion, and after Feihuang Tengda, he always wanted to regret his marriage, and even wrote a letter asking Zhang Xianzhong to become the champion before he could get married, so that Xiaguan's grandfather was angry and first gave Zhang Xian a concubine, and Liumengyan did so, which was completely close to regretting marriage, and it was a scandal for Zhang's house, so Xia Guan did not inform the county lord of this. ”

After listening to what Daniel Zhang said, the county order's eyes rolled a few times, and the previously planned ruthless move, before he figured out the details of Zhang Xianchao's middle bottom, could only slow down for the time being, and said to Daniel Zhang:

"Now you will first monitor the Zhang Mansion and find out all available information, but you must not act rashly without the order of this official! In addition, you are the county lieutenant of this county, and you should find a way to catch up with the family member who sent the letter, so you must take a peek at the content of the letter without alarming the family member, and come back immediately to report to the official. ”

The county official looked at the ten county soldiers and continued to Daniel Zhang:

"Since these ten escort soldiers are all good hands carefully selected by you, and they have collected so much silver, they must handle things safely! If Zhang Xian sends the grain and grass to Ezhou safely, or weakens and comes back safely, you tell them that none of them want to live, along with their families. ”

Daniel Zhang heard the order of the county order without a trace of emotion, his heart was cold, this official was also ruthless, it seems that this attack on the Chinese official is more ruthless than the mountain forest bandits! Immediately resignedly, he said:

"The lower officials will immediately follow the wishes of the county lord, and the importance of this matter will be explained to them by his subordinates, if they dare to collect a lot of money, they must dare to play with their lives!"

The county commander was a little evil in his heart, Daniel Zhang, and did not inform Zhang Xianyue about the matter, so that the current plan is a little passive, and it is difficult to start immediately. turned around and came to Zhang Xian's side, posed as a respectful elder, and said:

"Zhang Liangguan Zhang, this official county has a lot of official business, so he will not stay for a long time, wait for this, no matter what method is used, be sure to send the grain and grass to Ezhou without any mistake, otherwise, personal life and death are small, and the safety of the court is big! The consequences, there is no need to say more! ”

Zhang Xian clenched his fists and sneered in his heart, this county official's acting skills are not enough, so Zhang Xian said loudly:

"The county lord walks slowly, and the lower officials will do their best to complete the imperial mission and live up to the expectations of the county!"

When the county ordered a cadre to go away, Nianxin came over, thinking that Xianggong would go for another month or two, the newlywed Yan'er, endless parting, eyebrows and eyes, tears were about to break out of his eyes, and said: "Xianggong is going to the mountains and the road is far away, there are many difficulties, Xianggong can take care of himself, and the concubine is waiting for you to come back!" ”

Zhang Xian also had reluctance in his heart, but before the man's ambition was in the world, before his career was successful, it must be common to gather less and leave more in the future, so he pretended to be relaxed and joked, and said:

"Silly lady, you also know that this road must be full of difficulties and ups and downs, but if the lady agrees to do one thing for her husband, let him go through thousands of mountains and rivers, and the husband will also ignore it!"

Nian Xin seemed to have vaguely heard that Zhang Xian was going to marry a wife, but he was the daughter of a famous family in the court, the daughter of Zhuang Yuanlang, thinking that Zhang Xian was talking about this matter, and said:

"Xianggong, if you want to marry a wife, the concubine has already heard about it, marrying a wife is the real family, for the concubine body, three from the four virtues, the concubine body still understands, rest assured, the concubine body will never be jealous, the family has a good wife, the boy will not give birth to all kinds of disasters, as long as the concubine is still so good, the concubine will be content."

Zhang Xian smiled:

"It's really a stupid lady, even if her husband has three wives and four concubines, she will treat them the same way, there is no such thing as favoritism, and this is not what the husband said!"

Nian Xin didn't know what Zhang Xian meant, but looking at the evil smile on Zhang Xian's face, he raised his chin, and asked clearly:

"What did the prime minister say? As long as the princess can return safely, the concubine is willing to promise anything to the princess! Even if it is to take the life of a concubine! ”

Zhang Xian stopped and was moved in his heart, the woman of this era is really a husband for a woman, and her husband is the heaven of all women, and he is the only one to rely on in the second half of his life, Zhang Xian whispered to Nianxin:

"Lady, this matter is not difficult, and there is no danger to your life, it is your spring palace map, isn't there another trick, we haven't discussed it yet, how about we talk about it when our husband comes back?" Fangcai's mother has repeatedly urged, if you can't hold your grandson next year, you have to serve your husband and family, hey, Xianggong is embarrassed! ”

Nianxin saw that his husband was not serious, and he was immediately laughed angrily, but when he thought of Xianggong's various kindness to himself, his heart was full of sweet and sour feelings, and he whispered shyly:

"When you return, as you wish!"

After Nianxin finished speaking, he lowered his head and didn't dare to look up at Zhang Xian again.
