Chapter 129: The New Arrival County Commander is Afraid
Xi Hongdou has actually been thinking about it these days, what should she do if the place where Xiao Zhi sent the official is far away, there is also business here in Kyoto City, and she doesn't know how long Xiao Zhi will serve in the place where she will be an official, but they are husband and wife, so they naturally want to be together.
When Mrs. Xiao heard Xi Hongdou say this, she said, "Are you really willing to go?" Nashuobei Prefecture is really a poor and remote country, and there are many bad people, if you want to talk about me, you better not go. ”
Master Xiao also said, "It's okay not to go." ”
Xi Hongdou shook his head: "I have to go, I have to guard him, such a good husband, if the little girls in the poor countryside are hooked, I have to go and fight out if they seduce my husband!" ”
Xiao Zhi laughed directly, Xi Hongdou was not as careful as she said, it is estimated that she can't beat people, but she can't scold people and run away.
Mrs. Xiao sighed and said, "Then it's okay to go, but if there is a movement in the stomach, you must go back to Kyoto City to raise the fetus, but you can't raise the fetus in such a dangerous place, I can believe it!" She is also entangled, on the one hand, the young couple is newly married, she doesn't want the two to be separated, Xi Hongdou can also be taken care of by someone to follow, if Xi Hongdou is left in Kyoto City, the little two can't see each other, she wants to hug her grandson is really a matter of the Year of the Monkey and the Moon.
In the next few days, Mrs. Xiao also Xi Hongdou was preparing for Xiao Zhi's departure, Xiao Zhi also has a time limit to take office, if he does not take office when the time comes, it will be a serious dereliction of duty.
Mrs. Xiao helped Zhang Luo with the things at home, and Xi Hongdou went to the shop to work.
"I don't know how long it will take, the shop will get rid of a few people, and I'm not worried about Brother Hu, Brother Yao, and Mr. Lu." Xi Hongdou came up with the attitude of "entrusting orphans", which made Hu Ping, Yao San and Lu Zhi feel a great responsibility.
Lu Zhi said: "The owner, don't worry, I will definitely pay attention to the accounts and the flow of money, and the account books will also be kept, and I will wait for the owner to come back and see." ”
"Don't worry, everyone is also a veteran, and there will be no mistakes." Yao San said, there is no need to worry about anything on the caravan's side.
Hu Ping doesn't have to worry about it, the family relies on Xi Hongdou to make a living, and he must also keep an eye on the shop, and he doesn't dare to make any mistakes.
Xi Hongdou nodded: "There are a few of them, I don't have anything to worry about, wait for me to come back and bring special products!" After greeting a few people, Xi Hongdou felt that the "Dharma protectors" around her were also reassuring, so she didn't have any worries.
On the day of departure, Rue Xiang and Liu Fu were also ready to salute, and the two of them went together. Granny Liu also wanted to go with her, but after all, she was not young, and she was afraid that her old man's body would not be able to support it.
When the carriage left, a small head poked out of the door of Xiao's mansion, and then he followed the carriage with his small backpack.
Outside the city gate, a few people were waiting, and as soon as the carriage stopped, Xiao Zhi asked, "Is there anyone who knows how to set up a carriage?" ”
"Yes!" The bandit leader said.
"Then get into the carriage behind and let the coachman go straight home." Xiao Zhi said, and several people hurriedly got into the carriage.
Xi Hongdou looked at a few people, and it was a group of three thieves and four people......
"Why did you call them again?" Xi Hongdou asked.
Xiao Zhi said: "These people still understand righteousness, this time I go to Shuobei Prefecture, if I meet a strong man, I have a few brothers to help, otherwise the four of us will go, I'm afraid that we can die halfway!" ”
Xi Hongdou sighed: "Is Shuobei Prefecture really so scary?" "The sky is high and the emperor is far away, is there also an earth emperor or something?
Xiao Zhi shook his head: "You can only know when you arrive." "It shouldn't be easy for him to be the county order, but the road is his own choice, and he will go anywhere, but he was wronged and Xi Hongdou suffered with him.
As soon as the carriage was about to continue, a small head came up from behind, Xi Hongdou looked over and exclaimed, "Abu? Why did you come along? ”
Abu has always been taken care of by Rue Xiang in the Xiao family, but he is also more sticky to Xi Hongdou, this time Xi Hongdou is going to go far away, and he also said that he will wait at home, but he still came.
"Sister take me there!" Abu jumped into the carriage and said he wouldn't go back.
Xi Hongdou looked embarrassed, she didn't go on vacation this time......
Xi Hongdou looked at Xiao Zhi, and Xiao Zhi sighed: "Take a piece with you, you and Rue Xiang are not at home, and he is probably uncomfortable." Then he called a little beggar at the gate of the city, and gave a few money for the little beggar to go to Xiao's house to report a message, otherwise he would not find Abu, and the family would be in a hurry.
Abu was delighted, and when he saw that he was taking him away, he said, "Brother-in-law is the best." ”
Xiao Zhi smiled: "Good! "He's still eating this one.
A few people went all the way to the north, and the weather was getting cooler and colder, seeing that it was August, and Kyoto City was just cooler in the morning and evening, but the climate in the north of Shuobei had already made them appreciate the power of the weather in the north.
"Fortunately, my mother brought a lot of cotton clothes and furs, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to survive this winter!" Xi Hongdou said that the winter in Hexi Prefecture could not be milder, she went to university in Hainan before she crossed over to this world, and now let her go to the northwest to spend the winter, it is exciting to think about it.
Xiao Zhi smiled and said, "The winter scenery in Shuobei should also be very interesting. ”
was said by Xiao Zhi, Xi Hongdou was also looking forward to it, there should be snow in the north, there is basically no snow in Hexi Prefecture, and the snow in Kyoto City will become mud when it falls to the ground, she has indeed not seen the ice and snow world in the north.
"It's Shuobei Prefecture in front." Liu Fujia said in the carriage.
Xi Hongdou poked his head out to take a look, but as soon as he poked his head out, there was a swish in front of him, and a feather arrow flew by, and with a ding, it was inserted into the carriage.
"Oh my god!" Xi Hongdou shouted and quickly retracted his head and said, "Someone outside has released arrows!" After saying that, he quickly pulled Abu and Rue Xiang to the side and stayed away from the window.
Xiao Zhi hurriedly sat down, lifted the corner of the curtain and looked out, and then saw that there were really people standing on the mountain.
"It's bandits!" Xiao Zhi said.
Xi Hongdou is also drunk, although this Shuobei Prefecture is famous for bandits, but is it too fast?!
"What should I do?" Xi Hongdou asked, this car of old and weak women and children are all Xiao Zhi's hind legs, and now I finally understand why Xiao Zhi brought the bandit foursome.
Xiao Zhi shouted directly to Liu Fu: "Run!" ”
Liu Fu directly pumped the horse, and the carriage behind saw that the front was running, and they also ran, and the bandits saw that they were running so fast, so they made a whistle, and when Xiao Zhi heard it, he asked Liu Fu to hurry up, he had already arrived at the area of Shuobei Prefecture, and he should be able to see the gate of the city guard soon.
The carriage ran in front, and the horse bandits chased behind, and sure enough, they soon saw the city gate, and the horse bandits couldn't catch up, and they didn't want to conflict with the city guards in front, so they could only retreat first.
Xi Hongdou saw that the horse bandits behind him stopped chasing, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "In the future, the horses pulling the cart will also use the sturdy ones...... "At the critical moment, it really depends on who runs fast!"
After entering the city, Xiao Zhi first looked for Yamen, there are many small villages around Lihong County, but the economy here is not too prosperous, there are too few rich households, and everyone's lifestyle is simple.
The officials of the yamen were confused one by one, and when Xiao Zhi got out of the carriage, he saw that a few people were still gambling at the door, which was really not very presentable.
Liu Fu hurriedly said: "Who are you calling the shots now?" ”
A depressed looked up, seeing that these people were not dressed like locals, and they didn't deal with it too casually, so he got up and said: "Now there is no one to call the shots here, the new county order has not yet come, and the head catcher is not on duty today, how many are ......?" "Just looking at the clothes on these people, I feel that they are worth a lot of money, and they should not be ordinary people.
Liu Fu hurriedly said: "This is our new county order!" ”
The official looked at Xiao Zhi and said with a smile: "New county order? So young? After laughing twice, he also felt that he didn't seem to be right, so he hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, I'll go find a head catcher." ”
"Looking for a headcatcher? What about the master? Xiao Zhi asked.
"The last county commander died inexplicably at home, and then the master didn't come to the yamen, I guess he was scared!" The official said.
When Xi Hongdou heard it, he also felt weird, the last county commander "died violently" at home? She always felt that something was wrong, and her mind suddenly remembered the TV series she had watched before, how Song Ci's brother-in-law Meng Liangchen died in Meicheng County, and now she feels really a little like that!
"Can you find someone?" Xiao Zhi asked, he didn't bring his own master, and it would be more convenient to find a "land snake".
The official nodded, and quickly called people, one to call the head, and the other to find the master.
Xiao Zhi looked at the gambling game on the ground and asked, "Are you usually on duty like this?" ”
Several officials shook their heads, Xiao Zhi smiled, and didn't ask anything more.
After a while, the head catcher and the master came, and when they saw Xiao Zhi, they also felt young, but looking at the clothes, they also knew that they were from a good family, so they didn't feel strange.
The master's name is Zhao Heng, looking at the age of thirty, but he is not very old, the head catcher is named Zhou Kuan, five big and three thick, with a face and a beard.
After knowing that Xiao Zhi was the new county magistrate, he waited for Xiao Zhi to speak.
"The two of you will talk to me about this Lihong County first, and now it is time to eat, and I just haven't eaten, so let's take a piece." Xiao Zhi said, and then looked at the restaurant opposite the yamen, and said, "It's here." ”
As soon as he saw that he was pointing to the restaurant opposite, Master Zhao Huan coughed lightly: "It's not suitable there......"
"What's wrong?" Xiao Zhi asked.
"It's expensive over there!" Zhou Kuan, the head catcher, said.
When Xi Hongdou heard this, he took the money and gave it to Xiao Zhi: "Go, don't make a mistake if you drink less!" ”
"Good!" Xiao Zhi said with a smile, and then said to Zhao Huan and Zhou Kuan, "Let's go." ”
The two glanced at each other, and then followed Xiao Zhi first, thinking the same sentence in their hearts.
The new prefectural magistrate should be intimidating!
