Chapter 311: Dark Tide (7600)

Chufeng County City. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After collecting the entrance fee, Wu Ming's ox cart entered the city without hindrance.

The road was also very calm, and there were no bandits, which was enough to see Wu Pheasant's ruling methods.

However, Wu Ming knew very well in his heart that even if the reputation was good on weekdays, once it was related to this year's harvest and the livelihood of the whole family, the scholars and people of Chufeng County would not hesitate to abandon Wu Pheasant!

"This son, where are you going next?"

Lao Luotou likes this young guest very much, he doesn't talk much, and he doesn't have any unreasonable requirements, of course, the most important thing is to give money happily!

As soon as I entered the city, I settled the car money, anyway, it's just these two steps, and I can't say that after I send it, I can ask for a few more rewards!

The fare also needs to be shared with the cattle and horses, and the reward is his own, so his face is eager and sincere.

"Oh?"

Wu Ming had a playful smile on his face.

"It's only a few steps left and right, and the old man has to deliver his son to An'an safely!"

Lao Luotou laughed with him, and his criss-crossed face looked flattering.

"Well...... Go directly to the Jiedu Embassy, and the reward is indispensable for your ......"

Wu Ming said leisurely.

But these words made Lao Luotou's steel-cast iron arms tremble, and almost made the ox cart rush to the side of the road.

'Good ...... Could it be that this son is still a petty official in the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion? ’

Lao Luo's heart was stunned, but he didn't dare to say more at this time, and drove the ox cart to the center of the county.

As the power center of Chufeng County, the Jiedu Embassy Mansion is naturally a landmark building, and two huge stone lions stand at the door, showing their majesty.

And above the front street, there is also a row of gorgeous carriages, all waiting for officials to see Wu Pheasant.

Many or luxurious, or simple, different forms of carriages almost blocked the road, Lao Luo looked at this scene, and did not dare to step forward, so he could only stop next to him and smile: "Little official...... I can't get over the front! ”

In this world, there are clear hierarchies, so he doesn't dare to walk side by side with a carriage, where does he dare to step forward with a big grin?

"That's it!"

Wu Ming casually threw out a few big coins and walked towards the gate of the Jiedu Embassy's Mansion.

Lao Luo Tou did not leave, on the contrary, he looked at Wu Ming's back with a pair of expectant eyes, eager to know what the status of this little official in the Jiedu Mansion was.

If you are a true nobleman...... He felt that he would have the capital to brag to other guests in the future.

In front of the Jiedu Mansion, there were more guests waiting, all holding their name cards and lining up one by one.

But Wu Mingli ignored them and walked directly to the gate of the Jiedu Embassy.

This blatant behavior of cutting in line immediately made him feel the focus of a large area of sight behind him, and there was a lot of taste of watching a good show, but he didn't jump out directly, as if he wanted to see him hit his head and bleed in front of the Jiedu Tooth Soldiers.

But......

"Uncle?!"

The guards of the Fire Phoenix Battalion, who were originally guarded, let out a cry of surprise, immediately saluted, and welcomed Wu Ming in.

"Auntie...... Uncle?! ”

The officials in the back queue were messy in the wind, and at this time, some old people came to hear their orders, and after a while of whispering, those people looked at Wu Ming's back and were full of jealousy......

"I'm dropping a mother......"

Lao Luo's mouth is also wide open, like a sculpture, but he knows one thing in his heart, he will definitely have no shortage of bragging points to talk about in the future.

……

On the other side, Wu Ming didn't care about the flies behind him.

What made him a little regretful was that he didn't jump out of a certain stupid second generation and give him a plot of slapping his face in public.

It seems that in this world, fools are still a minority after all.

"But...... If you really think about it, I'm the biggest second generation in Chufeng and Nanfeng County, right? Wrong! It's a generation that ......."

Wu Ming put away his bad taste and came to the backyard of the Jiedu Embassy.

Obviously, Wu Pheasant lived in the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion during this time, and even brought boudoir utensils.

"Where's your young lady?"

"The young lady also inspected the drought situation outside the city, as well as the layout of the water keel car...... I'm afraid I'll be back very late......"

The one who led the way was a former personal servant of Wu Pheasant, who seemed to be called a knife or something else, but at this time, there was no command in the front yard at all, and he didn't agree with each other, and he drew the knife to each other's taste, and led Wu Ming to Wu Pheasant's bedroom in a soft voice, and changed his boots in addition to his outer robe, and then asked: "The news of my uncle's arrival, we have already gone to report to Miss, my uncle is tired all the way, do you need to eat?" ”

In his words, he unconsciously carried three points of flattery, but he thought of Miss's promise.

The people in her own camp are actually concubines Teng who are married, speaking of which, Wu Ming is also her husband, so she naturally serves a little more carefully than usual.

"It's good ......"

Wu Ming agreed, and he could obviously feel the surprise of this maid, and he couldn't help but smile again, the red sleeves added fragrance, and the beautiful woman accompanied the meal, which was originally a pleasure for the scholars, so why refuse?

……

Time into the night.

In the city of Chufeng County, the sky was dark, and a row of lights were lit.

In the well-known Sifang Inn in the city, with decades of golden signboards, in a secret room, a conversation is going on.

"That's what you've got in the newspaper today......"

In the secret room, a little oil lamp flickered, dim and dark, with a mysterious smell.

Under the lamplight, there was a huge desk, and the shopkeeper of the Sifang Inn, a man with a kind face, had a frost on his face, and glanced at a beggar in front of him.

"Lord Qiyu...... Today's news in the city is here! ”

This beggar is very old, and he seems to have experienced the wind and frost of the world, but in front of this adult, he does not dare to slack off.

"Then this person, why is it just a few strokes?"

The shopkeeper-like adult pointed at it, and it was Wu Ming's file!

"This person?"

The old beggar was stunned: "This person is just a big family in the county, and at most one sister has Taoism...... If it weren't for the name of the husband of the Jiedu envoy, I'm afraid that Wu Tiehu in the family would have more value for supervision......"

"Confused!"

The shopkeeper had a cold face: "I won't say much...... Within three days, I want to know all the news about this Wu Ming, from childhood to adulthood, the troubles he has caused, the women he has molested, no matter how big or small, don't let go of anything! ”

To be in the dark is to be as careful as a hair.

In his opinion, even if there is only one knot, the identity of the husband is already worth the cost, not to mention that the other party seems to be a little mysterious......

Glancing at the old beggar again, he said gently, "I also know that it is not easy for you...... Back then, 30 of us were ordered to lie dormant here, and we stayed for 20 years...... Some people died directly, some couldn't bear it anymore and left, and some people even passed it down for several generations, and their children and grandchildren have forgotten their tasks...... It wasn't activated until recently, do you have any complaints? ”

"The subordinates don't dare!"

The old beggar smiled bitterly, this is still to understand the situation of this boss, otherwise the subordinates dare to admit that they have resentment in their hearts? Let's wait for the day when there is no future!

"I also know you're working hard!"

The shopkeeper is also a person who has been dormant for decades, and his actions are much gentler: "Recently, the Jiedu Envoy Mansion is renovating the county, and you are also having a hard time, so you will bring a few taels of silver back later...... It's not that there isn't more, but that there are more, and it's easy to attract attention! ”

"I know!"

The old beggar smiled bitterly: "Boss! If you weren't still here, the brothers would have dispersed a long time ago! ”

I still admire this leader very much in my heart, and I can't help but bring out the old name.

"Well, Shangfeng already has a promise, after this time, the previous things will be written off, and the brothers can take off their shackles and be open!"

After the old beggar had gone, the leader was silent by the candlelight for a long time before clapping his hands again.

"Your Excellency!"

The dark shadow in the corner of the wall squirmed, turning into a young man dressed as a small servant, with a grim face, kneeling on one knee.

"Although everyone is a loyal minister, after so many years, it is hard to guarantee that he has no ideas......"

The head of the shopkeeper said with a cold air: "You go and follow him, if everything is as usual, if you want to tell the truth...... You know how to do it! ”

"Please rest assured, your subordinates will inevitably let him disappear silently!"

The youth quickly retreated.

The shopkeeper looked at this scene, but sighed.

It's not that he doesn't trust his subordinates, it's just that since Dinghou's intelligence network was uprooted, Chufeng County has been swept up many times, and all the spies have suffered heavy losses.

If it weren't for that, they don't know how many years it would take to be recalled.

"It's not that I'm sorry brother...... It's just loyalty and filial piety, you can't have both! ”

The shopkeeper said coldly, and the corners of his eyes turned red.

The Great Zhou Dynasty has raised the people for 300 years, and there are still people who are loyal to the liver and courage!

With this in mind, he opened the wooden table and took out a secret order:

"At all costs, we must ensure the rule of the imperial court and prevent Wu Pheasant from unifying Dingzhou......"

The leader muttered, placing the secret order on the oil lamp, letting the flames consume the paper.

He closed his eyes, and when he opened them after a long time, there was a coldness and sharpness in his eyes, and the little mercy he had before was gone.

"God help me!"

"There is a big drought in Chufeng and Nanfeng counties, this is the destiny of heaven!"

"As long as the spring ploughing is delayed, there will be disasters in the coming year, and the Wu Pheasant will not have the opportunity, and he will not be able to gather soldiers at all, and he will not be able to attract the Marquis to attack ......"

"When the time comes, the family of the scholar and the county that I have connected can all be revealed, and the combination of the inside and the outside will definitely make them exhausted, and it is best for the imperial army to destroy this woman, and sweep the remaining two feudal towns by the way, then it will be a great achievement!"

Although he knew that it was difficult, he did not regret it and did it.

This is his burden, and his loyalty!

Otherwise, wouldn't these decades of dormancy, incognito, the death and injury of a large number of brothers, and the retreat and gloom of a large number of brothers all be in vain?

If the Great Zhou is gone, who will recognize the merits of these people?

This is the sorrow of the little people, and it is the pain of the secret spy!
