Chapter 42: Pressuring the Prefect

Cheng Haofeng pondered for a while and said, "Do you want to exchange Zou Zukuan for the safety of those villagers surnamed Gao?" And lead out Kuai Diancong with him? ”

Hu Xianxian smiled a little proudly and said, "It's okay, right?" Although Kuai Diancong was temporarily detained in Wanzhou, he could be released in three to five days at most. He must be given a great sin that cannot be turned over, or there will never be a pure day. ”

Aunt Zou refused with a dark face: "No! My son is sick like this, and you still want to take advantage of him? You guys aren't good people either, get out of here! ”

Zou Zukuan grabbed his mother: "Mother, I think this is good." I'm a half-dead person anyway, and if I can punish those people, I'll finally get angry. I don't want to die that. ”

Qin Mufeng glanced at Zou Zukuan: "I don't think you are a short-lived person, how can you say the words of checking?" ”

Zou Zukuan patted his stomach, he said that he was uncomfortably swollen when he ate something, and drank two mouthfuls of gruel every day to hang himself, but his stomach was still round as a drum. After seeing Lang Zhong, he said that the stool was hard and indigestible, and he prescribed a few pairs of leaking drugs to eat, and he was almost dehydrated after eating, but he was still flatulent.

Qin Mufeng said that it would not be fatal, and then asked for pen, ink, paper, and inkstone to write a prescription.

Zou Zukuan took it and took a look: "These medicinal materials are not cheap. ”

Hu Xianxian hurriedly took out a few taels of silver: "Master Zou, you use it first." And he said, "Although this medicine is good, it does not work immediately." I have a way to cure the root cause of the disease, but it can quickly relieve the pain. Aunt Zou, can you find me a few fresh turnips? ”

Aunt Zou ran to the vegetable field outside the courtyard and pulled a few radishes back, Hu Xianxian washed the radishes, shredded the radishes, and then kneaded the shredded radishes repeatedly. The juice squeezed out was put in a small bowl for Zou Zukuan to drink, and he mixed the shredded radish with salt and garlic and said that it was to accompany him when he drank porridge.

Hu Xianxian was confessing to Aunt Zou that when she remembered that she had been eating Zou Zukuan like this for the past few days, she heard Zou Zukuan say repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my body is filthy and dirty." ”

Hu Xianxian saw Zou Zukuan hurriedly running towards the latrine, and Aunt Zou was also anxious to follow, Hu Xianxian grabbed her and said, "Don't worry, it's just a fart, it won't be like taking a cathartic pill." ”

After a while, Zou Zukuan returned to the house and was still apologizing to Qin Cheng and the others.

Hu Xianxian smiled and said, "Didn't it just make them smell stinky fart?" Who doesn't have an uncomfortable time? You're not so swollen now, are you? Hurry up and get something to eat, you're starving. ”

They also said something about how to deal with him when the Lingzhou Governor came to arrest him, and then got up and took their leave.

Zou Zukuan sent them outside the courtyard gate, and said to Hu Xianxian: "Miss Hu, thank you so much, I feel a lot more comfortable." ”

Hu Xianxian smiled and said, "We should thank you." Don't worry, you will be cured after you finish taking the medicine prescribed by Qin Zhenren, but you will have to suffer some grievances at that time. ”

Next to the big stone when the group of three arrived, Qin Mufeng summoned the Yuezhou Earth Immortals, they returned to the mountainside of Qinglong Mountain, and summoned Gui Chongxu to return to the city soon.

Qin Mufeng first went back to Wanzhou to accompany Du Wanzhi, and Cheng Haofeng and Hu Xianxian walked to the yamen.

Hu Xianxian sighed as he walked: "It's good to be an immortal, from Yizhou to Lingzhou to Yuezhou, and then from Yuezhou back to Lingzhou, it takes a few days for ordinary people to do it." ”

Cheng Haofeng replied: "This is nothing, I can teleport thousands of miles in the heavenly court." ”

Hu Xianxian laughed when he thought about those strange spells: "Eat first." As he spoke, he sat down at a noodle stall on the side of the road, "Being a fairy is nothing to eat, I can't stand it." ”

Cheng Haofeng picked up the noodle bowl, and when he listened to the people at the next table, he put down the bowl and listened carefully.

The person at the next table said: "This car prefect is really crazy to make money, yesterday even the baked cake stall and wonton stall at the north gate had to pay what 'ticket fee' said that he had to ensure that he had nothing to do with the bandits." ”

Another said, "Protect the fart!" He's a bandit himself. ”

"Don't talk nonsense. The streets are full of spies these days. ”

"I'm afraid of a fart! Do you know how the surname Che is so ruthless to make money? He understands that he can't do it for long, and he makes a lot of money while he can still make money. I have a relative who works as a postman in Taixing, and he said that many of the officials who came and went were on the bus to impeach the surname. ”

Cheng Haofeng tapped the table with chopsticks, "Hu Xianxian, eat quickly." We've got to strike while the iron is hot and get those people out of the way. ”

Hu Xianxian nodded and said yes, and told him to eat quickly.

After eating, the two came to the gate of the state government, and Lao Zhu was in a hurry to catch up when he saw that it was them, "Cheng Daochang, Miss Hu, go back quickly." The big lion in this yamen is eating people with his mouth open, what are you doing here? ”

Hu Xianxian smiled and said, "Where did the big lion come from?" Is this stone lion alive? I'm not afraid to live and can't eat me. ”

Cheng Haofeng choked her: "It's not that I can't eat it, it's that I can't stand it if I eat it, it's smelly and hard." ”

Lao Zhu said anxiously: "Do you still have the heart to joke? Hurry up. ”

Lao Zhu was pushing the two of them, and Ma Zhutou came over, "What are you doing?" Miss Hu is a distinguished guest. ”

Hu Xianxian whispered to Lao Zhu: "Uncle Zhu, don't worry. ”

She smiled again and said to Ma Zhutou: "Ma Zhutou, take us to see the prefect, we have something important to discuss with him." ”

Ma Zhutou led the two into the back hall, and the prefect greeted the two with a smile and sat down in the living room. After a few people said some polite words, Hu Xianxian glanced at the maid who was waiting beside him, and the prefect of Che understood and sent the maid away.

Hu Xianxian gave Cheng Haofeng a look, Cheng Haofeng was sitting in a precarious position, and said solemnly: "Does the prefect of Che know about Master Kuaisenxiong?" ”

Governor Che replied with a smile: "Master Kuai is a huge rich man in the capital, and I heard many legends about him when I went to Beijing to take the exam. ”

"Have you ever heard that he has a book of jade selection secrets, which can observe the stone and look at the qi, and select all the beautiful jade in the world?"

"I've heard about it for a long time, but I heard that his secret book was stolen by one of his rebels. Why did Cheng Daochang mention this? ”

Cheng Haofeng closed his eyes and ignored him, and the prefect looked at Hu Xianxian inexplicably. Hu Xianxian said: "Cheng Daochang knows the heavenly machine, but if he leaks the heavenly machine, he will lose his life. Do you know why King Shenjun helped me? He values Daoist Cheng so that he will help me. ”

Governor Che suddenly realized: "What does Cheng Daochang want Che to do?" Just say it. I will donate 100 taels of sesame oil money to Cheng Daochang to light the lamp and add longevity, and I will also pray for Cheng Daochang in the morning and evening. ”

Cheng Haofeng opened his eyes slightly, and said mysteriously: "If you can light the seven-star lantern for nine hundred and eighty-one days, you can indeed ask for the forgiveness of heaven and earth and reduce the number of years of life." Xianxian, remember to accept the sesame oil money. ”

After his eyes were fully opened, he looked at the Che Governor's Mansion fixedly: "Che Governor's Mansion, why don't you take the right path and take the evil path?" You don't ask for a lot of money, why do you want to get some windfall? ”

Governor Che was a little flustered, "How can you make a windfall?" Cheng Daochang, don't rely on King Shenjun to value you, you just talk nonsense. ”

Cheng Haofeng sneered: "How can poor Dao be nonsense? The rebel who stole the book is the mastermind who colluded with the Panlong bandits to kidnap Master Pan, you don't want to arrest it quickly, but you embarrass the innocent people, don't you want to make a windfall? ”

The prefect of Che blurted out: "Isn't it that the eighth master of the Kuai family wants to tie up Master Pan?" ”

Hu Xianxian snickered when he heard it, this car is not a self-recruit.

Cheng Haofeng pretended to be angry: "You are so confused, no wonder you will be impeached." Do you want the old man to have a lot of money, and his young master will do such dirty things? It's that rebel who thinks that the price that Master Pan gave him is too low, and wants to coerce Master Pan to return the jade mine! ”

When he was able to speak, he stood up and pointed to the prefect of Che and said, "If you arrest that person, will Master Pan be grateful to you, and will you have to donate silver to the yamen to thank you for your hard work?" Will Master Kuai be grateful to you, you punished the rebels for him, and cleared his son of the suspicion of colluding with the kidnappers. With the financial resources of Master Kuai, let him donate some money to the yamen to repair bridges and roads, he won't refuse, right? ”

Governor Che's eyes rolled a few times, but he really thought that they didn't know the truth, as if they were here to make a plan: "Wonderful, Cheng Daochang's trick is really wonderful." But where is the lower official going to catch the rebel? ”

Hu Xianxian saw that the prefect of Che took the bait, and breathed a sigh of relief, and said secretly: Obviously I came up with the idea, but let this style be praised. This prefect Che knows who the mastermind of kidnapping Pan Zongqiang is, and he still arrests people indiscriminately, and his aunt and grandmother will make you suffer sooner or later. However, I just don't know if he is willing to let him go?

When she was thinking nonsense, Cheng Haofeng sat on the chair again and closed her eyes, and the prefect had to look at Hu Xianxian again.

Hu Xianxian didn't expect Cheng Haofeng to be quite good at pretending to be a ghost, so he couldn't help but smile and said: "If you don't let go of your greed for windfall first, how can you get positive wealth?" ”

Governor Che was a little embarrassed and said: "Those people are suspected of being bandits, and they can't be released." ”

Cheng Haofeng closed his eyes and said in a suppressed voice: "Detaining good people and indulging evil bandits is intolerable. You originally had the official fortune of sitting as the prime minister, but if you damage your fortune, you will inevitably end up impeached by your colleagues, suppressed by your superiors, and the court will remove you from the situation of black yarn hat! ”

Governor Che opened his mouth, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and said in a low voice: "Let Xia Guan think about it carefully, and wait for a while before replying to Cheng Daochang." So saying, he withdrew from the living room and went to the garden pavilion.
