Chapter 156: Fengjie White Emperor City

Meng Zhiyu was so frightened by Wang Huan's interruption that he shivered again, and peeked at the group of squires behind him who were also pale, and there were also some people surnamed Tan, who were secretly shrinking towards the back of the crowd at this time, and secretly said in his heart This is no wonder to me, it is Wang Zongbing who wants to find trouble with your family, but I didn't pick it up. [Full text reading. 】

He summoned two county government leaders who were hiding on the side, handed them over to Ma Xintian and Zubian, and used them as guides to look for people everywhere in the county.

Wang Huan waited for the two of them to leave with a hundred households, and then his face changed back, and said to Meng Zhiyu kindly: "Okay, now we can enter the city, but I don't know the wine in Meng Zhixian, but it's good wine?" ”

The corners of Meng Zhiyu's mouth twitched and said with a smile: "The wine is the cellar of the Linjiang Wine Workshop in the city, it is very refreshing, but it is just a rough place, it is not as good as the wine of the big city, I don't know if it can enter the eyes of adults." ”

Wang Huan raised his head and laughed: "Hahaha, since that's the case, you must drink this wine, Meng Zhixian, please lead the way!" ”

Meng Zhiyu hurriedly stretched out his hand to lead the way, and when he came out, he was sitting in a sedan chair, but Wang Huan was riding a horse, of course it was inconvenient to sit in a sedan chair at this time, but he didn't dare to ride a high-headed horse, so he quickly asked someone to bring a donkey, rode up, and followed behind Wang Huan by a horse's head.

Three thousand Kuizhou soldiers, just have been standing on the official road, waiting for Wang Huan's order, only to step together, but see thousands of people dressed uniformly, a color of white robes and white scarves spotless, clean and tidy, the pace is the same when stepping, the sound of stepping on the ground is uniform, everyone is in good spirits, chest and belly, eyes are awe-inspiring and do not squint, the spear on the shoulder is shining, the crossbow on the waist is faint and bright, the flag is showing a heroic posture, just looking at this entanglement formation, you know that it is a strong army that can fight.

The squires and people who watched from the periphery in the long pavilion secretly smacked their tongues when they saw it, and they all understood that the team of the general soldier of the king was only stronger than Tan Wen's army, no wonder they were able to beat the lively Tan family's military horses and horses to the point that none of them escaped back, it turned out that they were really powerful.

The Kuizhou army lined up in a column of four people, and the long line could not be seen at a glance, and they walked proudly, followed behind the main general Wang Huan, and entered the Fengjie Tucheng.

This Fengjie county seat, dilapidated, the city wall is rammed with loess, many walls have grown grass and no one takes care of it, the gate on the gate, even the tiles are incomplete, it looks like it will collapse at any time. Even the two city names of "Fengjie" inscribed by the famous person of unknown dynasty and generation on the city gate are also covered with dust and mud, and they can't be seen clearly.

When I entered the city, I saw a stone street less than two feet wide, with low brick houses and mud courtyards on both sides, and there was no decent house. There was a distinctly strong smell of in the air, and it seemed that there were no adequate sewage treatment measures in the city, and residents were pouring N on the streets.

Wang Huan frowned and looked at all this, his forehead was twisted into a word "Sichuan", he seemed to be very displeased, Fengjie's tatters, rotten unexpectedly, and he didn't know how Tan Wen's family ran it, how could they make a county like this.

Arrived at the gate of the county ya, Wang Huan looked, almost no one planted the horse, the county government of the Ming Dynasty, all dignified, several courtyards inside and outside, the construction of the Gaomen compound is magnificent, and this Fengjie county ya, but it is like a land temple in the countryside, the vermilion paint on the gate is mottled, the copper knocker has a missing, and the two town house stone lions are covered with moss, and they can't even recognize the appearance. The wall is overgrown with weeds, and when you stand at the door, you can see that there are several gaps, and the official standing guard at the door seems to have spent a little effort to wash the clothes clean, but a few patches are exposed, and even the water and fire G in his hand, one person is holding only half of it.

Wang Huan was dumbfounded, even if the people were forgotten, it can't be said that the county government is the same, could it be that the successive county orders of this Fengjie are all Hai Rui-like Qing officials, and they take the silver of the imperial court every month to deny themselves and serve the public, and do their best, and they don't even repair the face of the imperial court?

Meng Zhiyu saw Wang Huan's expression in his eyes, blushed for a while, and said in an embarrassed whisper: "Let the chief soldier laugh, Fengjie County has been like this for many years, and the predecessor of the predecessor of the lower official is like this, the lower official wants to repair it, but he has no money and no one, so he has no choice but to settle." ”

Wang Huan let out a long breath, turned his face to look at Meng Zhiyu with a heavy expression, and sighed: "Meng Zhixian, you have suffered!" ”

Meng Zhiyu looked up flattered, tears flashed faintly in his eyes, touching, Lord Wang was so considerate, it was really rare, he suffered a lot of grievances like a little daughter-in-law in Fengjie, there is nowhere to say about suffering, others make a lot of money as a county order, but he drinks the northwest wind every day, and he is so poor that even eating is a problem, who to reason with? Wang Huan's sentence of "suffering" stung the deep wounds in Meng Zhiyu's heart, and he was a little unable to control himself for a while.

At this moment, Meng Zhiyu had an impulse to go to the soup for Wang Huan, and the Ming literati died for their confidants, so they rushed to Wang Zongbing's words, as long as they can use their own in the future, there will be absolutely no two words.

Being an official under such a person will definitely not be as aggrieved as the Tan family.

Wang Huan stood at the door and looked at the county office, he didn't even get off the horse, and asked Meng Zhiyu directly: "Where is Tan Wen's general army?" ”

Meng Zhiyu was moved, and he was a little choked up when he heard the words, so he hurriedly took a deep breath to stabilize his emotions, and said in a loud voice: "The lower official knows, please come with the lower official." ”

Wang Huan didn't enter the county office, not because he didn't give Meng Zhiyu face, but because he was really worried that the tiles on the head of the house might fall down, and whether the crumbling wall would collapse if he touched it lightly, in order to continue the task of saving the Ming Dynasty, he couldn't go in.

Meng Zhiyu was like beating J blood, happily slapping the donkey and rampage on the street, running fast, plus the county seat is not big, four streets horizontally and vertically, and when you turn the corner, you can see a gray barracks building standing in the distance.

When he got closer, Wang Huan found that the total army of Tan Wen was not much worse than the scale of Shizhu Tusi City, half of the county was within its range, a magnificent gatehouse stood in front, two heavy wooden doors nailed with copper nails were half-open and half-hidden, and the soldiers guarding the door had long since fled to where they were gone.

Wang Huan unceremoniously entered through the door, and the line was divided into two sides, on the left was the private residence of the general soldier, with three courtyards in front and back, and on the right was the school field and the barracks warehouse, with several rows of houses that could accommodate 5,000 people and horses.

The Kuizhou soldiers were led by their own generals to the barracks to settle down, and Wang Huan took the 100-man guards and Meng Zhiyu to the private residence of the general soldiers.

According to Meng Zhiyu, since Tan Wen's defeat and the three brothers died in the stone pillar, Fengjie turned the sky, the trees fell and scattered, the elders of the Tan family panicked, and they were busy discussing countermeasures all day long.
