Returning to the outside of Gu'an again, Guoxing'a lost his good mood last time, Hexiwu made an enemy, not to mention, there is also an enemy in Gu'an City. But the city still has to be entered, and Cezanne and the others are looking forward to going home! Mu Shun led the cavalry to inform the gentry in the city to prepare to meet them, and Guo Xing'a raised the battle flag given by the emperor, and took the lead in the county seat of Gu'an surrounded by mourning music and white spirit flags.

The dilapidated city walls and the barren fields outside the city make Guo Xing'a's impression of Gu'an very poor, even inferior to Little Nanjing. Of course, there is a lot of prejudice in this, if the Gu'an County Order did not rob Rong Hong's silver, maybe Guoxinga would appreciate the newly revived land of Hebei.

The Manchu and Han officials and gentry in Gu'an City went out of the city for three miles to greet the triumphant team of Guoxing'a. Those who know or don't know each other have to pretend to shout in front of Guo Xing'a to ask for warmth, and then they have to howl a few times in front of the carriage where Huiyang father and son stopped, saying that it is okay to send condolences, and it is okay to join in the fun.

"I've seen the Counselor!" First of all, several left-behind officials stationed in the Eight Banners came to participate in Guoxing'a, who was acting in charge of Gu'an Banner Affairs. Naturally, none of these people knew Guoxing'a, so Saishan'a, Xiande and others introduced him one by one. 、

Gu'an has a total of 500 soldiers stationed in the Eight Banners, but only Guoxing'a, the 11th Commander of the Blue Banner, is a complete Leader, and the other 300 people are all drawn from the original Commander like the Eight Banners of the Texas Garrison. Xianfeng's reward for Guoxing's acting flag affairs is actually of no practical significance, and when Hui Yang was there, Gu'an's flag affairs were his final say. Among all the banner people, he has the highest official position, so naturally everyone thinks of him as the horse's head, and this is actually the same when he arrives in Guoxinga. But there is also an advantage, when Guo Xing'a wants to take away soldiers and horses, he can be more confident.

Hui Yang didn't bring these people with him when he sent troops south, first, the number of places given by the imperial court was limited, so he had to bring his own descendants. The second is because these people are used to carrying cages and birds, and they can't go to the battlefield at all, and they are all too old, and Xiande is a little brother in front of them.

It has been more than 200 years since the Shunzhi period, and these people have been like caged birds for generations, and they have been locked in the same cage, so they can basically be regarded as relatives. Guo Xing'a can throw aside the old salutes of the banner people on the battlefield, but he can't do it outside the city of Gu'an. When they met, they visited Guoxing'a, but at the beginning of the introduction, Guoxing's age and seniority were all at a loss, and they all returned the gifts one by one, and they were so tired that Guoxing's head was dizzy.

"This one has to be grandpa's!" Guoxing Alai was in front of a super old riding school who was eighty years old. He has to fight the eldest brother of the same generation, and he has to fight the uncle of the older generation, this two or three generations can't stop it, Guo Xing'a is ready to kowtow.

"Fifth uncle, you're laughing! My nephew has greeted you, congratulations on your triumphant return! Pity my second grandfather, uncle, third uncle, and fourth uncle, who actually sacrificed their lives for the country! The old man burst into tears, this is really crying.

"Nephew?" Guo Xing'a was dumbfounded, just now there was a little brother younger than him, he had to call him uncle, he didn't expect to make up for it all at once, and he actually had an old nephew who was over eighty years old.

"Congratulations to the co-leader on his triumphant return, the lower official misunderstood Lord Rong of your ministry a few days ago, and I apologize to my lord here! Lord Haihan, the deducted silver taels, the lower officials will return them later! "Gu'an Zhixian is a delicate person, and he is even more well-behaved after being beaten by Hui Yang last year, and this time he heard about an accident in Hexiwu, and immediately took out the unexpected harvest hidden under the pillow. Seeing that Guo Xing'a and the banner people were polite, they hurriedly stepped forward to talk.

"This adult is Gu'an Zhixian?" Goxing Ake didn't know anyone.

"Zhu Duoyou, Xiaguan Gu'an Zhi County!" Zhu Duoyou humbly and gently bowed to Guoxing'a.

"Uh...... Lord Zhu is polite, it is all the fault of the Hexiwu Inspection Division. It's also my carelessness, Da Meng is not from Gu'an, and without an official certificate, he naturally can't prove himself, so why is it a crime for Lord Zhu to enforce the law impartially. The sons and daughters under my command were all killed on the battlefield, and they were rude and injured several of the adults' officers, and I will compensate for some soup and medicine later, and then apologize to the adults! "Guo Xing's later words were taught by Xiande on the road, and Sai Shang'a and others calculated that Zhu Duoyou would be soft. However, Guo Xing'a played very badly on the spot, and he gave a few finishing touches, and his tone was also very strange.

In fact, you really can't blame Guo Xing'a, this is the name of the county magistrate, it's too funny, and it can definitely rank in the top three among the people Guo Xing'a knows. Nimashan, Bi Yuntao, Zhu Duoyou, the first two can still say that the times are different, then Zhu Duoyou can't explain it, this homonym is "Pig meat!" "Who wouldn't hear it. This Zhu Zhixian must be a pig breeder, otherwise how could he come up with such a good name.

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Zhu Duoyou listened to Guo Xing's strange words, and he was secretly uneasy in his heart, for fear that this flag man would find trouble behind his back. Fortunately, he was prepared, and he was sure to suppress the anger of this young master, but unfortunately he didn't know that after Guo Xing'a heard his name, he had no opinion on him at all.

Although the spirit flags of Guoxing's department were displayed, it was only the army wearing filial piety clothes, Zhu Duoyou arranged a complete set of funeral ceremonies to welcome the spirit, and Guoxing'a gave him a big thanks. The crowd exchanged pleasantries at the door for a while, and then prepared to enter the city. Zhu Duoyou waved his hand and more than 40 monks surrounded Huiyang's coffin, including those who played pipes, those who played sheng, those who played nine yin gongs, those who played copper cymbals, and those who played copper cymbals.

This group of monks can startle Guo Xing'a, but Sai Shang'a and the others are frequently bowing their heads, Guo Xing'a also felt that this time it was a funeral, so he nodded to Zhu Duoyou kindly and smiled. Guo Xing'a smiled, Zhu Duoyou almost didn't cry, Guo Xing's smile was really weird.

On the way into the city, there are several colored archways built with white and blue flower paper, and the city has also unloaded the festive decoration of red and green, although there is no white in the whole city, it is also plain. When they arrived at the Drum Tower, everyone was going to break up, and the coffin was to be transported to the mourning shed to stop temporarily, and Guo Xing'a couldn't go home.

Zhu Duoyou's arrangement is even more grand, and the paper people and paper horses are overwhelming. There are road opening ghosts, road ghosts, heroes fighting spirit hundred crane pictures, there are Fang Bi, Fang Xiang, Hum Ha two generals, Qin Qiong, Jingde, Shen Di, Lu Lei four major gods, there are sheep horn mourning, Zuo Botao, Boyi, Shu Qi named four sages, Qiluo umbrella fan music, two color scores, a soul-attracting sedan chair. Tong Yin Dharma Drum, Zidi Wenchang, Pine Crane, Pine Deer, Pine Pavilion, Pine Umbrella, Pine Flag, Pine Sedan Chair, Flower Umbrella, Flower Flag, Flower Sedan Chair, Golden Melon Axe Stirrup, Eagle Banner Eagle Cover Eagle. "Quiet" and "avoid" cards are the same as fifty pairs, Huang Duanzi embroidered umbrellas, embroidered with gold blessing characters, flying dragon flags, flying phoenix flags, flying tiger flags, flying leopard flags, flying biao flags, flying bear flags, flying fish flags, flying ao flags, four pairs of incense flags, eight pairs of incense umbrellas, 20 nuns, 20 Taoist aunts, 40 monks, 40 old Taoists, 40 lama scriptures, boy snow willows, 150 pairs of snow willows, 400 pairs of wreaths, 400 pairs of elegiac couplets, among which there is a shadow pavilion, containing the ashes of Hui Yang and others.

"Master Zhu, you have a heart! It's too grand! Thank you, thank you! Guo Xing'a watched it again, like visiting a temple fair, and thanked Zhu Duoyou again and again.

"Huiyang Gong is loyal to the country is a model for my generation and the pride of my Gu'an, everything is as it should be, it should be!" Zhu Duoyou seems to have completely forgotten the little scarecrow that he secretly prick after being beaten by Hui Yang last time.

The officials all had to surround Guoxing'a, just to see the excitement, that is, to take a look at the coffin procession from afar. The people don't have this scruples, they go wherever it is lively. The victorious army of the Eight Banners returned triumphantly, and they naturally crowded out of the city to see the soldiers. The white team was together, and they naturally chased after the team that sent the spirit, who wanted to see a group of officials talking nonsense to each other.

Gu'an Zuoling's yamen is not small, but it is already dilapidated, and there is no inspection department of Hexiwu Yamen to look comfortable, and Guoxing's road to worship India is also a little bumpy. After saying goodbye to Zhu Duoyou, a group of banner people rushed to the Zuoling Yamen, but the Zuoling Yamen was more lively than the team sending the spirit, a large group of people were noisy and shouting, and Guoxing Ah couldn't even enter the door.

"Pay back the money, pay back the money, say that the army will return the money, you flag men don't count if you talk, don't take credit if you don't have money, you have to pay back on credit." Speaking of which, they are all characters on the official face, and they don't want to be faced! Guo Xing'a picked the best sentence and listened to it, and the others were already all up from my mother and grandmother, and I really couldn't hear it.

"Who are these people!" blocked the yamen and scolded the officials, these people deeply shocked Guoxing.

"My lord, I want to pay the account!" Among the bannermen who stayed in Gu'an, the city captain of Guoxing's cousin Baili, he has been dealing with these accounts these days, and it was not so lively in the past, but today the alliance of accounts bearers was dispatched together. Guo Xing'a returned to the city to worship Yin, but he was blocked from the door and couldn't enter the yamen, and Bai Li's face was also ugly for a while.

"How much do you owe anyone?" Guo Xing'a asked Bai Li with a twisted little face.

"Fifth Master, it's our people, don't do Uncle Bai's business!" After entering Gu'an City, Saishana and others used the title of their hometown for a while.

"Who do we owe?" Guo Xing'a didn't care about the title, anyway, there is no fight now, so you can call it whatever you want. But he is sensitive to the fact that he owes money.

"Uncle Bai is at home, how can he make trouble, those of us who go on the expedition are in a hurry." What Cezanne said is right, Bai Li and the others are at home, although it is also a butt of debts, but the hardcore crops of the banner people are there, and the people who ask for the accounts are too tight. And Guoxing's group of people have all gone out to fight, and the ghost knows that your man died in battle, and whether your family's hardcore crops are still there, so it is natural to ask for an account.

"Ahh Guo Xing'a is now a rich man, but he didn't expect his family to be so miserable.

"The fifth master can't be wrong, aren't the slaves in front of me who are being held in front of him the slaves in our family, my family, Saiye's family, Mu Erye's family, Uncle Feng's family, isn't your family's blessing also there!" In front of the people who ask for debts are the families of each family, and they are so virtuous that everyone knows them.

"Mom! Repay the debt, hurry up! Let these people fuck off! "Guo Xing Ah can't stand the feeling of owing money.

"Huh!" Seshana hurriedly ordered someone to go to the back of the car and bring some silver down. A large amount of silver in Guoxing's department was exchanged for silver tickets, and these silvers were originally prepared by Guoxing'a to take them out and gather the hearts of the people who stayed behind.

"One person must take it all, and if there is more, on the locker, and if there is less, I will go to each house tomorrow to get it!" The fifth master of the big lord's family is now the big master, and you can't be short, don't follow the coaxing! Sezanne went up the steps to stabilize the creditors, and handed out the money one by one. The credibility of traditional Chinese businessmen is a golden signboard, and you can't mistake a single copper, and you don't have to worry about someone stealing and taking advantage.

Those who have received the silver are also happy and sad. The shopkeepers of the garment shops, butcher shops, oil and salt shops, and grain stores are all sad, and they will have to go door to door again tomorrow to collect accounts. Buying snacks, breakfast, and melon seeds is happy to blossom, and this fixed amount of silver is enough to eat in their stall for a lifetime.

Fulai looked at Guo Xing'a from afar with tears in his eyes, but the old men still had something to do, and he didn't dare to step forward, so he could only watch from afar. Guo Xing'a didn't even know which one was Fulai, and walked into the Yamen of the Zuo Ling with tears and laughter. On the first day of work, I was blocked by someone to ask for accounts, which is really unlucky.

After attending the court, Guo Xing'a originally wanted to give a speech to encourage people's hearts, and then study the expansion of the organization. But these relatives in the hall have just seen the silver at the door, where do they still have the heart to listen to Guoxing's vernacular. They can't open their mouths to borrow money, but this meal must be eaten, and now that Guoxinga is wide, they may have a good meal.

Guo Xing'a, who was in a state of interest, could only let Sai Shang'a arrange a banquet. A big dish like a swallow's wing banquet had to be ordered in advance, and Cezanne could only order a few tables of ordinary first-class banquets. After the banquet was opened, Guo Xing's toast was completely drowned in the sound of vicious dogs competing for food.

"These are all high-ranking officials of our bannermen?" Seeing that everyone was crazy and eating the same way, Guo Xing'a was directly stupid on the main seat, and Rong Hong, who became the leader of the beggar gang, was also slightly stronger than them!

"My lord, it's bitter!" Cezanne's face was a little embarrassed on the side.

Traveling all the way from Jiangnan, how many officials have Guo Xing'a and others met, how can there be such a scene today. On the surface, it seems that the money and food of a banner man can be compared to that of a magistrate, but the banner people do not have cheap silver, and they do not have all kinds of filial piety and gray income of officials, and the officials of the banner people are just ordinary middle-class people. Moreover, the ancestors had to pay attention to the rules and be broad, and the people of the banner were poor and ruthless for more than 200 years. A table of chicken, duck, fish and meat banquet is already something that these flag men have not seen for a few years, and there are flag people starving to death in ordinary famine years, so you can imagine what kind of life these flag people live.

"One person should bring them a table of food!" Seeing someone from the Gu family secretly hiding vegetables in their sleeves, Guo Xing's tears were about to fall, it was too cheap!
