Li Wencai touched his chest with his hand in pain, his face was already distorted, this expression was indeed a bit exaggerated, although Li Wencai was indeed a little uncomfortable at this moment.

"What's wrong with you" Qin Mu frowned and stared at Li Wencai's crooked eyes, and couldn't help but wonder.

"It's been an old illness for many years, and it's just a myocardial infarction." Li Wencai said with a painful face.

"Myocardial infarction? What is myocardial infarction? Qin Mu has lived for most of his life, and this is the first time he has heard this word.

"Well, it's very complicated to explain, the human heart has atria and ventricles, do you know, I don't know this, hey, it's terrible to have no culture, the villain needs to go home immediately and lie on the bed to rest, hoping that the old general will be gracious." Li Wencai was very helpless, thinking that he was illiterate, but now it seems that he is still a well-educated person.

Qin Mu didn't bother to pay attention to Li Wencai, so he waved his hand and said, "You have already received the holy decree, hurry up and leave, you will go to work in these three or five days." ”

Li Wencai had no choice but to nod and said: "The subordinates will definitely do their best for the Daming Society, please rest assured that the old general." ”

For Li Wencai's sycophantic kung fu, Qin Mu didn't care, just snorted and said: "You are a smart person, if you are really for the country, it is also a good thing, I heard that you invented an arrow pile with a ring, the effect is not bad, although this is not a big achievement, but it is enough to see that you are wise, I hope you can do your part when you get there." ”

"The old general has won the award, but he is just idle and messing around, and it is difficult to wait for the small skills of carving insects, and his subordinates will retire." After Li Wencai finished speaking, he bowed and withdrew from the mansion, and then exhaled like Meng Dahe.

Zhongzhou is not a place to stay for a long time, Li Wencai decided to leave for Nanjing, the customs clearance documents for the rush have been prepared, Lao Zhang and Dasha have already got a carriage to park on the street below the inn, Guan Yue packed up all the trivial things into a package and followed Li Wencai out of the inn.

Through the bustling flow of people, Li Wencai forgot to glance at the Qin Mansion across the street for a long time, the sunset is far away, and the avenue is boundless, at this moment Li Wencai is in a mood full of melancholy, how much he wants to look at the heroic woman again, but he can only think about it, how many amorous men and women in this world are fateless, and he is just an ordinary person.

Thinking of this, Li Wencai just lowered his head and smiled bitterly, and then got into the carriage, the horse's hooves hit the bluestone slab and made a clattering sound, and the group gradually moved away.

At noon, out of Chungju City, the population is becoming more and more sparse, Chungju City is surrounded by mountains and rivers, the terrain is complex, after going out of the city for more than ten miles, it is full of green mountains, Li Wencai sat in the carriage and looked up at the green peaks on both sides of the road, and he did not feel that his miserable life was in danger at any time when he traveled to the war era, but fortunately, he was quite good, but he was easy, when would he be able to live a good life with his left wife and right concubine.

Just when Li Wencai fantasized about the boundless, the long-awaited figure appeared in his eyes, the white figure was on the top of the mountain, standing straight on the mountain peak in a snow-white brocade dress, with long hair and clothes flying in the wind, as beautiful as a fairy.

Li Wencai was a little distracted, thinking that he was hallucinating, rubbing his eyes, and found that it was not an illusion, Yu'er was really watching himself leave, although Li Wencai wanted to jump up from the carriage and then gallop over, but his body did not move, he just stared at the figure blankly and couldn't do anything......

It was a difficult errand to go to the post, and Chungju was a thousand miles away from Nanjing, from land to water and then to mountain roads, and after five days Li Wencai was already languishing like the plague.

"My lord, we have arrived, and there is Chengyang in front of us." Lao Zhang was used to his military life, and when he saw Chengyang in front of him at this moment, he couldn't help but be in high spirits, laughing and yelling.

Li Wencai shrank in the carriage, half-kowtowed his eyes and looked ahead, a city was horizontally in front of him, and the stone slab above the gate was engraved with two words 'Chengyang', and he would spend his future days in this small city.

The guards guarding the city looked coldly at the man lying in the carriage, thinking that he was a seriously ill patient with half of his body, and asked in an unkind tone: "Who is the person, do you have customs clearance documents?" ”

Li Wencai leaned on the carriage, glanced at the guards, and didn't even bother to speak, these guards are all dog-eyed and low-looking, these days they are in a hurry, dusty and dusty, and they naturally don't look good, but they are looked down on by these dogs, although they are not a big inspector, but in this city, they are also a figure above 10,000 people under one person, if these guards know that the person lying on the carriage is the future boss, that appearance will be very exciting.

Lao Zhang took out the customs clearance documents and handed them to the officers and soldiers guarding the city, the two officers and soldiers read it carefully, and after confirming it several times, their expressions were very different, only to see a guard return the documents to Lao Zhang respectfully, and then bowed to Li Wencai and said: "It turns out that this is the new inspector, the subordinates have been notified, and the inspector will come to the post in the next few days, and today I finally waited, I didn't expect it, the inspector is dignified, giving people a bright feeling, even if it is lying on the carriage, it is so magnificent." , the subordinates let people go to the government to report, and the adults please enter the city. ”

Li Wencai looked at the sincere eyes of the guards, and felt very comfortable in his heart, it felt really good to be patted on the back, although the words were too fake, he looked like a dead man lying on the carriage, and he was said to be full of style, these two guards were both clever people, and Li Wencai's mood suddenly improved a lot.

Under the respectful gaze of the two guards, Li Wencai still lay motionless on the carriage and entered the city, which was similar to the emperor's inspection of the place.

Although the patrol is a second-in-command in Chengyang, and the soldiers in the city are all under his command, but Li Wencai is a newcomer after all, and he doesn't know anything about Chengyang officialdom, so no one really treats him as a dish, Chengyang's county order is named Gao Sheng, although Gao Sheng is one level higher than Li Wencai, but as the head of the place, he should have held a banquet, but Li Wencai came to the front of the government but did not see Gao Sheng's figure, and it was Liu Xing, the county man who came to greet him. At first glance, he is greedy for money. Lustful people, Li Wencai sneered at this kind of people, although he was not much better.

"This is the new Inspector Master Li," Liu Xing squinted his small eyes and looked at Li Wencai and said.

Li Wencai glanced at Liu Xing and said: "Lord Liu is too modest, we are at the same level, how dare we be arrogant, we are new to the city, and we will have to worry about Lord Liu in the future." ”

"Be polite, we are all colleagues, even if there is something to say, but I didn't expect it, Li Xiandi became a city patrol at a young age, he is really a young talent, I don't know if Li Xiandi came to take office, and he was favored by which senior member of the DPRK and China."

The meaning of Liu Xing's words is already obvious, officialdom is actually similar to the rivers and lakes, each sect and faction must be clearly distinguished, and it will be easy to act in the future, so a patrol officer was parachuted, of course Liu Xing has to ask clearly, presumably this is what Liu Xing wants to know, and the county magistrate also wants to know that if Li Wencai's backstage is excellent, then the treatment will naturally be different.

Li Wencai wanted to be quiet, so he simply replied: "Lord Liu thinks too much, you and I are all doing things for the imperial court, I just made a little military merit in the army, and I got this official position when it reached the ears of the emperor. ”

The corners of Liu Xing's mouth showed a slight smile, not missing traces, but he was seen by Li Wencai in his eyes, at this time, he saw Liu Xing straighten his waist, and said with a straight face: "Brother Xian, the county commander Gao is busy with affairs, I'm afraid I don't have time to meet you, you just go back to your residence first, the mansion of the office has also been cleaned up, and someone will naturally tell you what you need to do, Brother Xian, please." ”

After Liu Xing finished speaking, he turned around and entered the mansion, losing the slightest enthusiasm.

Lao Zhang couldn't see it, and said dissatisfiedly: "This is too unusual, the adult is also a city patrol, and the Gao County Order should be received, but now I don't even see a human figure, and then look at this Liu Xing simply doesn't put the adult in his eyes, it's really annoying." ”

"Why do you want to put me in your eyes, I have no foundation in Chengyang, and it has nothing to do with the court, I know at a glance that I am here to eat and wait for death, I don't know how long I can be this inspector, why do people treat you so much, and I did it like this."

"My lord really thinks so," Lao Zhang's face was full of surprise.

"There are some things you don't understand, but it's not important, the important thing is that I'm hungry, and I haven't slept for a few days, I haven't taken a bath, you go back and you boil me some hot water for me to bathe, it's best to pick some rose petals, my lord I want to bathe, this matter will be handed over to Guan Yue to do, you and Dasha go buy some food, and see if there are any special dishes in Chengyang."

"What" Lao Zhang's eyes widened, he had reached the level of shock, or Dasha was more pragmatic, and when he heard that he was eating, the whole person suddenly came to his senses, pulled Lao Zhang and said, "Let's go, go buy food." ”

According to Li Wencai's plan, the first thing is to take a bath, and then sleep until he wakes up naturally, but when he came to the courtyard of the inspector's house, this idea became a little unrealistic, the mansion of the inspector did not know how long it had been abandoned, and now the gate had a crumbling feeling, the house was overgrown with wild grass, and there was no place to stay, and in the courtyard stood an old soldier with a gray beard, holding a bunch of keys and a stack of case files, smiling very kindly.

"Dare to ask the old gentleman, how long has no one lived here, and how long has it been since the previous inspector left office?" Li Wencai asked.

"My lord, the previous inspector has been out of office for half a year, and now the manpower of the inspector has been directly under the jurisdiction of the county order, so no one has come here."

"How many people did you have before?"

"There are only a dozen or so fixed monthly silver, and the rest are all hired, and after the inspector left office, those hired government soldiers were dismissed."

Li Wencai understood that he had indeed been hollowed out, just a bare-bones commander, and now even a dozen of his subordinates had been pulled over by the county order, if it weren't for the fact that this old government soldier was too old to be useful, it is estimated that there is no one in charge of affairs now, and being an official to the point of being an official is not worse but the worst.
