Chapter 244: Lovesickness, Loneliness Kills

In addition to the grassland where the Xi people gathered, the rest of Longmen County is a typical division of equalization", the Tang people who live by farming every year are not only sloping or sloping, the land is barren and the pressure of paying taxes twice the time - before this, the Xi people never paid taxes, and their share of the tax was evenly distributed on the heads of the Tang people, although it is now the period when the Tang Dynasty is going up, and the life of the Tang people in Longmen County is still miserable and difficult.

It is in this context that Tang Chengyi's exhibition plan can stir up such a storm in Longmen Village, this year's natural disasters and drought have made people desperate, and how much power can be burst out of the hope born in despair will be shown and verified in the following days.

Outside the city, the people of Longmen gathered from all directions and were not afraid of fatigue, and Tang Cheng, who planned all this in the county government in the city, was also very busy, although his way of governing the government was enough to be called the most powerless chief official in the current era - after he took charge of the direction and grasped the direction, the specific details were assigned to Yang Jiao, Jia Xu, and Qian Sanscar to perform their own responsibilities, but because there were too many recent things and they were too big, so he, the chief official, could not relax.

Visit the 1,100 sergeants of the Tiancheng Army from afar, paint a better prospect for them, squeeze out the last trace of hidden energy in them, let them pay more attention to the land in front of them, and help them coordinate and solve some specific problems; Visit the busy blacksmiths, mobilize the motivation of these support personnel, and prepare to inspect the hillside on the right side of the county seat...... Now Tang Cheng is like a spinning top spinning around non-stop, busy all in order to kink the greatest forces of all parties involved together and accomplish this major event that fundamentally changes the status quo of Longmen.

Just being busy with these things is enough to make people feel uncomfortable, and the Yali of Bisheng Prefecture also adds to the blockage, "Mingfu, the relief grain allocated from above is not even forty percent of what we declared, even if Xi people don't want to give food, these grains are far from enough to do big things, you see ......."

Standing outside the official warehouse and looking at the grain cart on the flat ground in front of him, Tang Cheng's face was as gloomy as Yang Jiao who was standing side by side beside him, compared to a county, the grain allocated by the state government was too little, and it was a little reluctant to use these grains to help a small drought, and Longmen had encountered a major drought since the beginning of winter this autumn and had not had a major drought for decades since the Dingding of the National Dynasty. (All updated.)

Although he knew that the number he reported would definitely be discounted, which was an inevitable thing in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, but Tang Cheng didn't expect that the hand of Niu Zude, the state ya, would be so ruthless, and he would erase more than sixty percent of him at once, and even less than half of what he expected.

As a > assassin in the state, how could Niu Zude not know that the situation in Longmen County was complicated, and how could he not know that the relief food he allocated was not enough? Since he knows that he is still doing this, what kind of mind is he comfortable with?

When I thought of this, Tu Yezhuo's words surfaced again a few days ago, in the year of the catastrophe, the food relief was not enough, and the people who had nothing to eat were not to talk about making trouble, and it was very possible to gather a crowd to rebel under being forced, such a scene should be what Niu Zude wanted to see.

After thinking about Niu Zude's thoughts, let's look at the less than thirty percent of the relief grain in front of him, how could these relief grains be given to him in Longmen County, and they are simply the back road that Niu Zude left for himself - imagine that after the turmoil in Longmen County, the state government got rid of the rhetoric, after all, he gave the relief grain, and he was the first to allocate it in the jurisdiction.

"Now that it's been delivered, can you still do it? Sign the warehouse first, after today's busy work, tomorrow will then hand over the relief documents to the state government, the writing of the documents is more urgent, after the writing is completed, let the clerk copy a few more copies for preparation, one in three days for me to take turns to smash in the state office, even if you don't give food, you will make them disgusting and disgusting", after a pause, Tang Cheng continued with a gloomy face: "In addition, arrange someone to send a few copies of the relief documents to the provincial government, no matter who receives the documents in the provincial government, you must get the signature and return the receipt."

"Send it to the Daoya?" , Yang Jiao obviously hesitated when he heard this, "Ming Mansion, it is taboo in officialdom to submit such an official document at a higher level."

Hearing this, Tang Cheng smiled coldly, "Niu Zude has already sharpened his knife, what else is there to taboo?" Let's do it, the state government has already taken precautions, as long as the Taoist government comes forward to ask, in order to get rid of the cadres more cleanly in the future, Niu Zude has to allocate more or less more food to meet the situation, we have to build such a big stall now, it is also a good place to squeeze him out of a bucket and a liter."

"Okay", Yang Jiao nodded, "But in this way, even if you and Niu Thorn Shi Ke in the Ming Mansion completely tear their faces, after all, he occupies a high position, and this matter cannot but be prepared in advance, once your position is unstable, the major event of Longmen will definitely die in the middle of the road." (The latest and most complete e-book download.)

Hearing Yang Jiao say the word "tear your face", Tang Cheng remembered what Zhao Laohu said to him that day in front of the Yaqian of Xi County - don't tear people's faces unless you have to, otherwise others will kill you. These words are still in my ears, but I didn't expect that he would have to face this situation not long after he became the chief officer, and the object of tearing his face was still the direct chief officer.

Life is so impermanent!

"Mr. Tu Yezhuo's words also knew that before the food relief was given, some people were worried about taking advantage of the turmoil in the catastrophe to drive me to work, and it was Niu Zude's hand to tear my face first", Tang Cheng's gloomy face disappeared when he said this, replaced by a shallow smile, "Everyone has already hit me in the face, and it is impossible to blindly endure it." Longmen's plan is not only a merit in the court, but also a painstaking send, since my official position is closely related to the outcome of major events, then whoever wants to calculate my position, I will not share the sky with him."

Since the beginning of Confucius's "Spring and Autumn Brushwork", scholars have paid attention to subtle and euphemistic things in their words and deeds. Although every official in the world has this mentality towards the official position under the **, he Yang Jiao is no exception. But to be able to say it so bluntly and so nakedly, Tang Cheng was still the first one he met, and under the shock of being too shocked, Yang Jiao, who was stirred up by these words, looked at Tang Cheng, and didn't know what to say for a while.

"Mr. Yang does his own thing, Niu Zude has me over there, even if the sky falls, let's also write the splendid article of Longmen", after finishing speaking, Tang Cheng patted Yang Jiao's shoulder in a way that was not suitable for reading people, and walked towards the outside of the vast official warehouse with a light smile on his face.

Yang Jiaodi's eyes involuntarily followed Tang Cheng's back, and it wasn't until the back was more than ten steps away that he suddenly figured out what the feeling he had been chasing in his mind just now, by the way, the feeling when he heard Tang Cheng say that just now was vaguely similar to some of the experiences and feelings of a teenager when he was studying.

"If the husband is like this, I will take his place!" , this is the young Western Chu overlord Xiang Yu when he first saw Qin Shi Huang's magnificent and powerful parade team, and the bold words erupted from the bottom of his heart; "Princes and generals, rather have a kind of", this is the end of the Qin Dynasty Chen Sheng's revelation

roared. (The latest and most complete e-book download, since childhood, I have accepted "monarchs, ministers, fathers, sons", and when I first read these two sentences in the history books, the feeling of spiritual stirring was just similar to that just now.)

What pedestrians can't do, what people dare not say, the husband should be like this!

Seeing Tang Cheng's somewhat thin but firm last trace of his back disappearing at the gate of the official warehouse, Yang Jiao let go of the doubts of how to fight with the assassin Shi in a county order, and extraordinary people do extraordinary things, although this Tang Cheng does not have the spirit of a king like Xiang Yu, but looking at his repeatedly surprising methods since he entered the Longmen, as well as his vision and open-mindedness when planning the big event in front of him, he is really a very person to do such a business at such an age. And I believe that once he fights this shop, that is, he really ended up in a fiasco, what is there to be afraid of when he chases his ministers, and what else is there to lose?

Swinging his head, Yang Jiao, who withdrew his gaze, shook off these mixed thoughts and thoughts in his heart, and then immediately threw himself into a nervous busyness.

Tang Cheng, who came back from the official warehouse, did not go to the main hall after returning to the county office, and made an exception to return to the back office for the first time during the time of the upper office.

"Miss, you should really go out and listen, now no matter where you go in the city, as long as the people mention their uncle, they are full of words, when the shopkeeper of the cloth village heard that the slave maid was a subordinate in the uncle's house, he had to force the gift of three-foot satin, and the slave and maid couldn't push it off", the girl Xiaoqing didn't notice Tang Cheng who opened the thick curtain behind her and walked in, and said excitedly to Zheng Lingyi, what was in the basket under her feet was a lake silk satin.

"Why did you come back?" Zheng Lingyi, who was surprised, got up from the couch and greeted Tang Cheng, and when he saw him looking at the basket at Xiaoqing's feet, he smiled and said: "Although the shopkeeper is a good intention, Xiaoqing is a person who knows the rules, so he may not really be able to ask him for satin for nothing?" Besides, this girl's eye sockets are not low, and the three-foot satin can't get into her eyes."

Xiaoqing, the personal girl who followed her for thousands of miles, was still the one Zheng Ling intended to be the envoy of the city in Yangzhou, and at that time, she did not hesitate to throw herself into Tang Cheng's arms in order to make the young lady break off the relationship with Tang Cheng. (For more new chapters, see nine.)

Because of this old thing, Xiaoqing is always a little unnatural every time she sees her uncle, even Tang Cheng himself is a little stiff, it's not that he can't tolerate the old things, but when he sees this girl, he can't help but think of the scene of that night in Yangzhou, under the hazy moonlight that comes through the window, a beautiful young girl tears herself up, and takes the initiative to throw herself into her arms with her pigeon-like chest, this kind of thing is not easy to forget, not to mention that Xiaoqing's unnatural performance when the two are occasionally alone is tantamount to bringing up this matter again and again.

"Well, Xiaoqing did a good job. Our family is not short of money, it's not worth it to make a statement for these petty profits", Tang Cheng nodded to Xiaoqing, "You go and call Laifu."

Seeing Tang Cheng looking at her with burning eyes, and the words of approval that came out of his mouth, Xiaoqing's face turned red inexplicably, and he bowed away without saying anything.

"This girl is starting to think about spring", Zheng Lingyi settled Tang Cheng and sat down, while making tea for him with the deep well water that had been rolling in the fire cage, and said with a light smile: "She is not young anymore, whether to let go out or stay, the head of your family must have a saying, this place is strange, there are few concubines who go out, and you have to keep a mind to find out who to pick if you are released."

Zheng Lingyi was also the city envoy in charge of the party when he was in Yangzhou that day, and there were some people who were decisive in killing, but now he could only nest in the small Quartet of Houya and wait for him to come back, and then think about her experience of growing up in the deep palace since she was twelve years old, Tang Cheng looked at Zheng Lingyi with a little light and gloomy between his eyebrows and eyes, and suddenly felt a little guilty.

Like Zheng Lingyi's experience, such a talented woman should not be a golden bird in the courtyard of the deep house, she is really busy these days, and she can't think of this.

Seeing Tang Cheng looking at her with a tender face but not speaking, Zheng Ling first jumped the corners of his eyebrows in a blink of an eyebrow, and then said with a smile on his face: "What, my husband is reluctant to let her out and wants to stay in the room for use?" ”。

Hearing this, Tang Cheng felt that he couldn't cry or laugh, and the guilt in his heart became heavier, perhaps it was related to his past experience, Zheng Lingyi was originally a quite atmospheric woman, and Yangzhou more than a year ago couldn't say this kind of thing from her mouth, "I can't let you be so idle anymore", Tang Cheng stretched out his hand, and Zheng Lingyi, who had just put down the tea pot, sat in his arms with a low whisper, "Xiaoqing, you first ask her thoughts, although she is a girl, but after all, she has been in love with you for so many years, As for what to do with her affairs, your idea is to be a husband but listen to the lady's dispatch." (Mobile AP browsing search.)

Holding Zheng Lingyi in his arms, Tang Cheng stretched out a hand to gently rub her shallow eyebrows, "That's all for Xiaoqing, let's talk about your affairs."

After struggling for a while and not breaking free, Zheng Lingyi didn't move anymore, softened his body and quietly snuggled in the man's arms, Longmen County is small, this Houya is even smaller, staying in such a small courtyard every day, Tang Chengsanya's footsteps coming back have become her biggest expectation, but since the Xi people were in turmoil in the city that day, he began to be busy non-stop, and even went out for more than ten days a few days ago, and the two not only spent less time together, Even in the time they were together, he also had a lot of things to arrange, and Zheng Lingyi really felt lonely, unspeakable and lonely.

This loneliness even made her dream of the magnificent but lonely and cold Daming Palace on the Dragon Plains in Chang'an City several times, although Zheng Lingyi also felt that such a dream was really inappropriate, but she did miss the days of the previous three thousand miles of travel, although the days of wind and rain were really hard.

Since these busy days, the two have rarely had such a moment of casual embrace, feeling Tang Cheng's warmth by rubbing his eyebrows, Zheng Lingyi quietly closed his eyes, and even didn't open them until now, "What's the matter with me?" ”。

"I'm very busy during this time, and I will continue to be busy for a long time in the future, you always nest in this small yard, whether it's not good for your mood or body, it just so happens that I have a lot of things to do here, and there are many people who need it, so I have to borrow my lady's talent."

"Oh, what's the matter?" , Suddenly opened her eyes, Zheng Lingyi's lazy body straightened suddenly, she knew that the big event in front of her had a place in Tang Cheng's heart, and she was even more looking forward to being able to get out of this square sky and fight side by side with Tang Cheng.

"Distribute food. This is a matter involving thousands of people, not only trivial, but also easy to cause chaos once it is not done well or unfairly, which is really one of the keys to ensuring the smooth progress of this major event for the husband. (Mobile phone AP browsing therefore needs a person who can be literate, and careful and not greedy to preside, Mr. Yang was also a suitable candidate, but he is responsible for too many things and can not be tied to death by this matter, for the husband Ben is still worried about going there to find such a person, but he forgot that there is a virtuous person in the family, should be beaten!) Penalties! ”。

"Really", Zheng Lingyi's eyes were shining, just like the moonlit night when the two first met, "Husband, you really let me be responsible."

I am not afraid that others will see ......".

"As long as you want, as for other people's ......", Tang Cheng smiled and pinched Zheng Lingyi's nose, "Why do you care so much, I am in charge of my territory."

"Well, I will do a good job", Zheng Lingyi nodded in surprise and hugged Tang Cheng tighter with his backhand, and after a while, he heard her whisper in Tang Cheng's ear, "Husband, when the weather is warmer, take Sister Yingjun and them over."

Tang Cheng was unaware that she suddenly talked about it, "Huh? ”。

Zheng Lingyi didn't say much, only gently spit out eight words, "Lovesickness, loneliness kills."

At this moment, a dry cough sounded at the door, and Laifu, who had this cough, straddled one foot in the door, and the other foot was still outside the door, his two eyes were full of embarrassment and he couldn't find a place to land, and Xiaoqing behind him was still urging him to come in quickly.

Seeing this, Zheng Lingyi's face suddenly showed a blush, and this blush had not faded until she sat down on the side, but Tang Cheng didn't take this seriously, what is this, in the later life, there will be more hugging and gnawing on the street in the future, this blessing is really rare and strange.

"What are you looking at? I'm here, look at your cowering look, no interest", Tang Cheng's scolding with a smile almost made Laifu vomit blood, you don't latch the door of the master and prostitute during the day, I don't think it's still useless, is there any reason for this? Thinking like this in his heart, Laifu didn't dare to show it on his face, and after entering the house, he was really more polite than anyone else.

"Okay, don't come to these false texts", Tang Cheng pointed to the stool opposite the fire cage, "Sit down, you can tell me about the state government officials again, you must be detailed, and you can't leak anything at all."

This was originally said when he came back yesterday, but seeing that Tang Cheng deliberately ordered him to say it again, and his tone was still so solemn, Laifu, who had a somewhat dark mind, suddenly surged with excitement.

Okay, look at the big official, this means that he is clearly going to take the opportunity to attack Niu Zude!

Laifu, whose blood suddenly became hot, said the matter again at the moment, and there was no omission in every detail.

After listening to Laifu's words, Tang Cheng, who stood up, paced up in the room with his hands, seeing him like this, Zheng Lingyi, who knew that he was used to, did not speak.

"Since the person who operates this matter is the great housekeeper of the Assassin Mansion, it is no different from Niu Zude coming forward in person, even if he says that he will break the sky, don't want to get rid of it" After a while, Tang Cheng, who had stopped his steps, turned around and stared at Laifu and said: "I want to expose this matter to the Daocheng Yamen, can that joint figure Cang Cao judge Si Ning Mingyuan to stop it?" ”。

Hearing Tang Cheng's words, Xiaoqing was stunned suddenly, but he mixed with his master from Shannan Daocheng to Chang'an, and from Chang'an to Laifu here, but he was calm, "Hebei Dao is big, from > to Daocheng Jinyang, there are really a lot of places all the way through the state and county, it is really difficult to bring a big living person over, but if the big official only needs him to defend himself, there is a way, the small one personally crosses his bottom, this surname Ning has a lot of private things, it is not difficult to start."

"Hmm", Tang Cheng retracted his gaze after looking at Xiaoqing, who was stunned, "I can't get people, what if he denies it when he refuses to defend himself?" ”。

"This ...... The little one has a way to make him not dare to talk back", after Laifu looked at Xiaoqing and Zheng Lingyi with Tang Cheng's eyes, he didn't say anything more.

Seeing that Laifu was like this, Tang Cheng knew that the method he said must not be so visible, so he didn't ask again, "This matter is extremely great, and the risk is also high, come to my study after dinner and discuss it carefully."

"Yes", after Laifu agreed, he stood up and said at the same time, "The people who sent me to the state city to find last time have also been involved, and it just so happens that one of them is in the state city for a leather business, he intends to come to Longmen to see, what time is the right time for the big officials?" ”。

"Let's go a few days, let him come after I have spread out the scene here, so that I can talk to him so that I can talk to him", after speaking, Tang Cheng stopped the blessing who was about to leave after agreeing, and said with a smile: "I will send a letter to my family in the next day or two, and when it is warm in the spring next year, I will take Ying Yun and Xiao Tao over, and you will take a look in the city, and if there is a suitable house, tell Mrs. to buy it for you, and when Xiao Tao comes, you will open a house." When you look at the house, you can be satisfied, don't care about the price."

"Thank you officials, thank you madam", after hearing this, Laifu, who was shocked all over his body, made a thank you gift, and walked out of the room quickly.

After seeing Laifu leave the room, Zheng Lingyi filled Tang Cheng with tea, "Husband, that Niu Zude is the chief official of > Prefecture who is directly in charge of you, and the situation is really sinister to this point?" Otherwise, send a letter to Chang'an, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will ...... there."

"His life may not be better than mine now, if he doesn't take the right measures and doesn't have to attract the attention of the Taiping Land anymore, it really won't be worth the loss", Tang Cheng deliberately made a relaxed smile and patted Zheng Lingyi's hand, "Don't worry, I have my own measure in this matter."

That night, Tang Cheng and Laifu in the study until the end of the two watches, the next morning, just from the state city back only a day of Laifu then set off again, with him with the three brothers of the Zheng family, this time Tang Cheng specially got up early in the morning to see off the four people, and solemnly explained to the three brothers of the Zheng family all the blessings of the horse.

Looking at the figure of the four of Laifu gradually moving away, Tang Cheng stood in front of the side door of the exclusive back office for a long time.

As soon as the bell rang, Tang Cheng's unrelieved worry was quickly rushed aside by the busy affairs, and then it was a busy, busy in the dark, not only he was busy, Zheng Lingyi was also busy, went to the official warehouse to check the relief grain, from the household Cao to see the household registration book that recorded the population of the county, there were dozens of books alone, and at this time she no longer had the heart to sigh about the lovesick and lonely these things, the two of them were so tired that they even paused their sex at night, and fell asleep after undressing and going to bed without saying ten words.

After another three days, the people in Longmen County were shocked to see more and more people dressed up in villages outside the city, at the beginning they thought that these people should be displaced people fleeing from the famine, and they were really afraid, how could so many displaced people flock into the city at once? But soon they became abnormal.

Although these people are dressed as typical homeless people - carrying bags of dry food, carrying rolls, and looking tired, these people have more equipment than the homeless people they have seen in previous years, and everyone is carrying farm tools! Moreover, the spirit of these people is completely different from that of the homeless, although they are the same tired, but their eyes are full of hope, and they have the vigor and vitality that the homeless can never see.

Seeing that the farmers in this group of locust plagues had no intention of entering the city, the people in the city who peeked in the cave of the city gate finally let go completely, but their curiosity inevitably rose again.

Where are these people going? What are they going to do? ()
