Chapter 143: Pei County Orders Ten Miles to Greet Each Other
On that day, the county guard of Qijun was quite enthusiastic, and Lu Yan obeyed all the arrangements, although he was a smooth-headed person, but Lu Yan was not disgusted. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
This may be the mistake made by the kings of the past dynasties, knowing that the man was a minister, but he was reluctant to kill him, which led to the misdirection of the country and the people, and the destruction of the country and the change of masters.
The next day, Lu Yan didn't stay long, and the county guard had no choice but to give Lu Yan a lot of entanglements, "Hou Ye take care on the road, more than thirty miles ahead is Pei County, don't worry." ”
"Thank you for your hospitality, Ziyu will definitely protect Your Excellency in the future and rise to the top." Lu Yan comforted him a little, which made the county guard frown a little, and obviously floated a little.
The scenery of the county is slightly better, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant along the way, but there are also a few families, and when you go to half an hour, you will see many people and horses standing on the side of the road in front of you, as if you are waiting for someone.
Thinking about it carefully, yesterday I told the county guard to come to Pei County today, and it must have been the county guard who sent someone to inform Pei County of the county order overnight, so he worked so hard to move the people, which also made Lu Yan smile a little bitterly.
Pei Xian Ling counted the hours and saw the carriage in front of him, and he was already a little sure, but when he saw that there were only two courtiers, and one of them was a groom, he didn't feel a little doubtful that he was not the Hou Ye.
Lu Yan sat in the carriage and immediately called the courtiers, "You go to the front and order them to go down, let them all disperse, and only leave the county officials." ”
The courtier received the order, riding a horse to take the lead, Pei County Ling was in his fifties, wearing an official uniform, next to him stood a prison official, holding an iron knife, seemingly middle-aged, gentle and humble, the rest are all county figures, and there is also a person wearing silk and satin, very mighty, and there is an old man on the side, old and dignified, kind eyebrows and kind eyes.
The one wearing silk and satin is none other than Wang Ling at the Baiyue fork, who took the plate in the village that day, settled in Pei County, and started a business, that is, the legendary rich merchant, commonly known as the cloth dealer.
"Master Hou has an order, in addition to the officials, he also asks the people in the county to leave on their own and go back to work in the fields, and they are not allowed to stay here." The attendant said aloud ahead.
Only then did the county order understand that the one in front must be Pingnanhou, although there were few followers, but it was absolutely true, and immediately ordered the people next to him to return to the county and perform their duties.
Before the attendants could retreat, Wang Ling walked up first, "The one in front is Pingnan Marquis Lu Yan Lu Ziyu?" "There's a bit of respect in the language.
The waiter looked at Wang Ling in surprise, but he didn't expect that he even knew the words of the marquis, and immediately said yes, "I don't know who Mr. is?" ”
"It's better to invite Master Hou here first and then reminisce, this is not the place to talk after all." The county commander said helplessly.
Wang Ling used to be born as a bandit, but now he is a merchant in Pei County, even if the county order has to give him a little thin noodles, if it weren't for the Marquis of Pingnan to come, the county order would not have spoken to Wang Ling like this at all.
Wang Ling next to him also waved his hand, signaling the attendant to invite Pingnanhou, and Lu Yan got off the carriage and came on foot fifty meters away in order to show his gentle side.
The people on the road were not a little surprised to see that Pingnanhou was only older than the boy and had an elegant appearance, but Wang Ling was quite meaningful.
"You family sparrows, surprised, I think that when the Hou Ye was seventeen years old, he went south to conquer Baiyue, and pacified the three counties in half a year." The words were very exciting.
The old man next to him glanced at Wang Ling, "Didn't you also be beaten back by the Hou Ye at the beginning?" As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere was slightly awkward, and Wang Ling just bowed his head and said nothing.
Lu Yan walked over and saw a group of strangers, only Wang Ling was slightly familiar, "Brother Wang Ling, why do you bow your head alone and keep silent, is there something to worry about?" ”
Hearing Lu Yan speak, Wang Ling suddenly raised his head, "That's not true, Master Hou doesn't know these people, I'll introduce you personally." ”
"Brother can just call me Ziyu." Lu Yan said very kindly, which surprised the people around him, as Ping Nanhou, he was still so approachable, it was really rare.
Wang Ling bowed first, "This is Pei County Order, next to him is the jailer Xiao He, this old man was from the county in his early years, and now he has moved to Pei County, and he is the great-grandson of Xiangguo Lu Buwei Lu Wen Lu Gong. There was a hint of joking in his tone.
The three of them also saluted Lu Yan one by one, and the other two didn't forget it, but they didn't expect that the person in the middle turned out to be Xiao He, which really surprised Lu Yan.
"Ziyu has seen three." Lu Yan also replied, and the county magistrate next to him immediately arranged for someone to invite Lu Yan to the county magistrate's mansion.
There are still many businesses in the Pei County Market, but it is also lively, Lu Yan has come all the way, quite gratified, it can be seen that Pei County Ling is still a good person.
The four of them walked together, and the people of Pei County also competed to watch, mainly to take a look at Lu Yan, if it is peaceful today, it is not easy to be able to seal the marquis, and it is not easy to think about it, the only marquis Wang Ben still relies on his father's fame, which shows how popular Lu Yan is.
When he was about to arrive at the county gate, Wang Ling immediately walked in front of the three of them, "County Order, Lu Gong, let Hou Ye live in my house today, please go back first." ”
At this moment, Xiao He was just a prison official, so he couldn't go with them, just standing behind the county order, hearing Wang Ling say this, the county order frowned slightly, and Lu Gong's face was even more gloomy.
"Master Hou likes to be comfortable, your house is in the bazaar, what is there to go, let's go to the old man's house to do it." The county order was afraid of Wang Ling, but Lu Gong was not afraid, so he immediately said in a deep voice.
Lu Yan was sandwiched in the middle and expressed helplessness, "Don't be like this, Ziyu needs to live here for ten days and a half months, and it doesn't hurt to live in his brother's house for the time being." ”
Hearing Lu Yan say this, Wang Ling's face also showed joy, "See, Ziyu said to live in my house, you two please go back." ”
"This, since this is the case, we won't say much, tomorrow the county will receive books, whether the Hou Ye wants to go to the county for dinner." The county magistrate said slowly.
Lu Yan immediately waved his hand, "The books will not be accepted for the time being, first ask the literati to copy a few copies, and then burn them, but I don't know that there is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book." ”
After hearing this, Lu Gong and the others all sighed that Lu Yan understood the righteousness and did not hide it from everyone, in fact, Lu Yan originally wanted to go to Linzi, but I heard that there are so many celebrities in Pei County, and Lu Yan is just making good friends in case of future needs.
Lu Yan also had a vague feeling in his heart at this moment, and he only felt that it was difficult for him to change the current situation of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes alone, so it was better to take a look at how everyone in Pei County behaved and watched the time.
The county government is in the east of the county, after all, the east is the direction of the rising sun, which is more auspicious.
And Wang Ling's home is not so exquisite, it is completely in the most prosperous section of the market, usually almost all small merchants and hawkers, towards a section of it is the Wangling Mansion, the courtyard is very large, there are two floors up and down, and it is unique next to it.
