Xu Liang smiled: "Luo Baiguan has cried enough? If you want to see me, bring him here. ”

Xu Liang entered the office of the patrol battalion, leaned back on a chair and rested for a while, and the two soldiers escorted Luo Baiguan in.

As soon as Luo Baiguan entered the house, he broke free from the two soldiers from a long distance, only to hear a plop, Luo Baiguan knelt on the ground, and wailed in a characteristic sharp voice: "My lord, save me!" ”

Xu Liang was full of excitement, stood up on the ground, and shouted urgently: "Hey, hey, hey, I said Luo Baiguan, you didn't cry enough yesterday, stop, stop, if you have something to say, talk about it." ”

Luo Baiguan raised his head, his eyes were filled with tears, and he said miserably: "My lord, now only you can save me, I don't want to die." ”

"You want me to save you?" Xu Liang smiled: "This official has never known you, I am full and want to save you?" ”

Luo Baiguan kowtowed like pounding garlic, and sobbed while kowtowing: "My lord, people say that saving someone's life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, if you save me, I won't let you go." ”

"Huh?"

"Ah, no, I mean that even if I am a ghost, I will remember you......" Luo Baiguan didn't choose to speak, raised his eyes and saw Xu Liang's face becoming more and more ugly, and hurriedly said: "No, alas, in fact, I want to say, if you save me, I will repay you for being a cow and a horse." ”

Xu Liang was angry, he pinched his chin, and said funny: "Then you tell me, if the official saves you, how can you repay me?" ”

Luo Baiguan was overjoyed when he heard this, raised his head and said flatteringly: "I will follow you with all my heart in the future, before and after the saddle, after the saddle, full of wine and food, before the flower and under the moon, that one will serve with all my heart." ”

"Hey, don't." Xu Liang frowned, and said disgustingly: "This official can't afford it, and he doesn't have that hobby." ”

"Uh," Luo Baiguan blushed embarrassedly, he scratched his head, and said: "The little one is not very literate, and many words are not in the right mouth, all in all, in short, as long as you save me this time, I will be dedicated to you in the future, and I will be at your beckoning at any time, if you point to the east, I will never go west, if you beat the dog, I will help the chicken!" ”

Xu Liang frowned and said, "Have you ever read a book?" ”

Luo Baiguan said ashamedly: "When I was a child, my father taught me for a while, and later, I taught myself. ”

Xu Liang scolded: "Then speak well, don't use words indiscriminately!" ”

"Ah, yes." Luo Baiguan lowered his head.

Xu Liang thought for a while and said with a smile: "It's not impossible to ask the official to save you, think about what else you can do for the official, serve tea and pour water, don't talk about the ability to take care of the home, the official can't afford to use a thousand taels of subordinates." ”

"Huh." Luo Baiguan was overjoyed when he heard this, knelt on the ground and scratched his ears and cheeks and thought for a long time, then raised his head and said cautiously: "My lord, although I have never gone to a serious school, I Luo Baiguan people are not exhausted, determined to work hard, self-improvement, self-study when I was a child, I am a little familiar with literature and ink, my lord, I can help you write a report in the future, and plan to play a fold." In this way, you don't have to do everything yourself. ”

Xu Liang was shocked when he heard this, and said categorically: "No." At your level, all the future documents will be handed over to you, so do you want to be an official? This one doesn't work, you think about something else. ”

Joke! As far as Luo Baiguan's half-hung water, it's not as good as me Xu Liang, let you ghostwrite, isn't my Xu Liang too long?

Luo Baiguan couldn't help it, and then meditated.

At this time, Ge Qiao, the deputy envoy of the patrol battalion, walked in with a stack of account books in his hand.

"My lord, this is the cost of the patrol battalion last month, please take a look."

Xu Liang took the account book, put it on the table and flipped through it, and finally frowned and said to Ge Qiao: "Old Ge, you moved this thick pile of account books over one by one, so what do I see?" Didn't you sort out a general ledger? ”

Ge Qiao's old face turned red, rubbed his hands and said: "My lord, I'm not afraid of your jokes, there are nearly three hundred people in our patrol camp, and few of them have ever read books. ”

Xu Liang was stunned for a moment, and secretly said that the Ming Dynasty has been established for more than 200 years, why is national education still so backward?

"Two adults, can you let the little one help me take a look?" Luo Baiguan, who was kneeling on the ground, said cautiously at this time.

Xu Liang glared at him, and said angrily: "What do you look at, I honestly think that your usefulness is serious." ”

Luo Baiguan shrank his head and said flatteringly: "Lord Xu, the little father used to be the account room of the largest money bank in the Ming Dynasty, and when I was a child, my father also taught me how to keep accounts many times, so it was ......."

"Really?" Xu Liang and Ge Qiao were both surprised, and glanced at each other, Xu Liang threw out the account book to Luo Baiguan, and said, "Then you kid take a look now and see what famous hall you can see?" ”

Luo Baiguan picked up the account book and looked through it carefully. Xu Liang and Ge Qiao didn't say anything more, waiting for Luo Baiguan to come to a conclusion.

After a quarter of an hour's effort, Luo Baiguan closed the account book and got up and respectfully put the account book on the table. He said: "Two adults, just now I watched the entry and exit of the patrol camp from the eighteenth to the twenty-fourth of the first month of the seventh year of the Apocalypse. I found that, judging from the book alone, the expenses of the patrol battalion were greater than the income, and there was a deficit of one hundred and sixty-two taels and five cents of silver for six days from 18 to 24. ”

Ge Qiao was overjoyed when he heard this, and exclaimed: "Yes, yes, you are not bad at all." He looked at Xu Liang and said eagerly: "My lord, this person is a person who manages accounts, and my subordinates ask my lord to assign this person to my subordinates." ”

Xu Liang hurriedly interrupted Ge Qiao's words, squeezed his eyes at Ge Qiao, and said, "Deputy Envoy Ge, let this official consider this matter." Whoever is that, Luo Baiguan, you go down first. ”

After the two soldiers escorted Luo Baiguan out, Xu Liang ordered: "Don't go to prison first, find a room for him to stay." ”

When Luo Baiguan heard this, he was secretly happy in his heart, and understood that this time he was going to get out.

"Your Excellency?" Ge Qiao asked Xu Liang suspiciously.

"I didn't expect this Luo Baiguan to be a talent who settles accounts." Xu Liang said with a smile.

"yes, my subordinates didn't expect it." Ge Qiao said: "My lord, at the moment, our patrol battalion is lacking this kind of person. Don't let him go, adults. ”

"I know." Xu Liang squinted slightly, and said faintly: "I have to think of some way to trap this Luo Baiguan once and for all." ”

Xu Liang soon met with Luo Baiguan alone.

Luo Baiguan swept away his sad look this time, he looked at Xu Liang, and said urgently: "My lord, you have also seen that I really don't have any other skills when I am young, but I am good at settling accounts, when I was a child, my father took the scrapped account books of Rishenglong home for me to use as reading textbooks, and I grew up looking at the account books." Saying that, Luo Baiguan said embarrassedly: "I'm not afraid that adults will make fun of you, the name of the little one was taken by my father." ”

"I see." Xu Liang laughed. After laughing, Xu Liang looked whole, and said in a sincere tone: "Luo Baiguan, the official has thought about it, your kid's ability to settle accounts is very exciting to the official." Therefore, the official decided to give you this thousand taels of ransom for you and release you. ”

"Thank you, thank you, thank you." When Luo Baiguan heard this, the big stone in his heart fell to the ground.

"But!" Xu Liang said again: "This official's silver can't be in vain. With that, Xu Liang put a contract in front of Luo Baiguan and said with a smile: "You have to sign this deed of sale." ”

Luo Baiguan took the contract, read it again, his face turned red, and shouted: "I, Luo Baiguan, am a good man, how can I sell myself to others, I would rather die than sign this contract." ”

Xu Liang was slightly disappointed, and then said: "Well, Brother Luo, this official has always done things to convince people with virtue, if you don't sign, of course this official will not force you." There is another way forward. ”

"Oh? Speak, sir. Luo Baiguan raised his eyes and said in surprise, as long as he didn't sell himself for the rest of his life to be a subordinate, he could do anything.

Xu Liang pinched his chin and looked at Luo Baiguan, with bad intentions in his eyes: "Alas, who let God treat you without a book, so that you have such a good body." ”

"If you have something to say, just say it." Luo Baiguan had goosebumps all over his body, took a step back, and said vigilantly.

"Another way is: the official will temporarily put your name on the Fenglai Pavilion in the east of the city, and when you earn enough 1,000 taels of silver in it, the official will officially erase your charges."

"I'm not going!" Luo Baiguan felt extremely insulted, and shouted in a sharp and thin voice.

Of course Luo Baiguan has heard of the name of Fenglai Pavilion, and it is said that the guests inside are good at men. The "girls" in Fenglai Pavilion are also men, and of course Luo Baiguan knows what kind of livelihood they do.

"You're really not going?"

"I'm not going to die!"

"Backbone!" Xu Liang grinned and gave Luo Baiguan a thumbs up, and said, "This official admires a man with integrity like you." ”

Saying that, Xu Liang looked at Luo Baiguan with admiration on his face, and said: "Since Brother Luo is so principled, then when the day after tomorrow is at the entrance of the vegetable market, the official said that he would send you off, don't worry, after you leave, I will burn a piece of yellow paper, although it is not much, but Brother Luo, you go below to save some flowers, and you should be able to last a few years." ”

"What...... What is the vegetable market? Luo Baiguan's face changed, and he asked eatingly.

"It doesn't hurt to sue you now." Xu Liang looked sincere, leaned over to Luo Baiguan's side and whispered: "Lord Xianzun has already sent someone to urge the official to quickly close the case, the day after tomorrow, at the latest, you, the heinous main criminal who trafficked girls, will be dragged to the entrance of the vegetable market to behead the public." ”

When Luo Baiguan heard this, his face turned pale with surprise, and he looked at Xu Liang blankly.

Xu Liang patted Luo Baiguan's shoulder with concern and said, "Brother Luo, take care." ”

After speaking, Xu Liang shouted outside the door: "Come on, take Luo Baiguan back to prison, serve him a good meal in the evening, and escort him to the county government early tomorrow morning." ”

There was a bang outside the door, and two soldiers walked in.

"Don't, hero!" Luo Baiguan came back to his senses, threw himself to Xu Liang's side, hugged Xu Liang's thigh, and shouted.

Luo Baiguan just thought of the vegetable market entrance that Xu Liang said, and imagined in his mind that the vegetable market entrance was crowded with people, and the noon sun was shining in the sky, and the county magistrate said, "The hour has come, execution!" The executioner on the execution ground, who was exposed to the chest hair of a black crow and crow, raised his knife and fell, and his own head fell to the ground, and a string of blood beads flew up three feet high......

Xu Liang sighed and said regretfully: "Brother Luo, don't be like this, the road is your own choice." You have to be like a man, and you have to die neatly, won't your mother-in-law and mother-in-law make the official look down on you? ”

Luo Baiguan let go of his hand, turned his head and went to find the contract of sale, and cried out repeatedly: "Where is the contract?" Where did it go? I'll sign it, I'll sign it now! I haven't married a daughter-in-law yet, so I can't die...... Woohoo......"

After Luo Baiguan signed the deed of sale and pressed his handprint, Xu Liang took the contract into his arms, helped Luo Baiguan up with his own hands, and affectionately hugged Luo Baiguan's shoulder, looking like a friend for many years, he said: "Alas, in the future, Xiao Luo, you will be a member of my Xu Mansion, from today on, Xiao Luo, you will be the tent of our patrol battalion." ”

As he spoke, Xu Liang frowned and sniffed, and a smell of sweat emanating from Luo Baiguan's body was inhaled into his nose, Xu Liang quickly let go of his hand, turned around and shouted outside: "Come on, take us to the Luo tent room to take a bath and change into clean clothes!" ”
