Chapter 21 Borrowing the Corpse to Resurrect the Soul Twenty-one

Zhan Xiaoxiao also knew that Hu Zongxian would not easily hand over his personal token to an "outsider" who was not very familiar with him, especially a person like himself who was "both friend and foe". The only explanation is that this matter is quite important, and it is very critical to Hu Zongxian, which must involve Qin Tai, so he has to send Zhan Xiaoxiao. Only Zhan Xiaoxiao can reassure both sides, especially Qin Tai. With Hu Zongxian's governor token, Hu Zongxian's direct subordinates and Jiangnan officials will obey Zhan Xiaoxiao's orders, and Zhan Xiaoxiao holds Hu Zongxian's token on behalf of Governor Hu Zongxian. Of course, it is more to make a stand to Qin Tai and let Qin Tai know Hu Zongxian's determination. The token is in Zhanxiao's hand, in fact, it is in Qin Tai's hand, Qin Tai can mobilize Jiangnan officials and troops, and he can pass anywhere in Jiangnan unimpeded. Because Qin Tai had Hu Zongxian behind him, they became a new alliance. Of course, Zhan Xiaoxiao also knew that Hu Zongxian, an old fox, would not do this easily, and the only explanation was that this matter was quite a headache for him, so he had to join forces with Qin Tai to deal with it together.

Zhan Xiaoxiao rode the fast horse given by Hu Zongxian and spent a day and a night to arrive at the accident site. At a normal pace, the army and horses would have to walk for three days and two nights, and the horse team would have to run for two days and one night. But Zhan Xiaoxiao relied on his good health and "running a dead horse", so he arrived in one day and one night. The so-called "running a dead horse" is a way to hurry. When the imperial court or important officials in order to save an emergency or deliver important letters, they often use two methods: "running a dead horse" and "running a dead horse". "Running a dead horse" means changing horses along the road without changing people, the messenger has to keep hurrying, and the horse is waited by the post station or a special person. Dry food and water were available immediately, and as long as the messenger did not want to be "convenient", he did not dismount and kept on his way. "Running a dead horse" means that if you don't change horses, you don't change people, and fast horses are desperately rushing. The courier can use any method to stimulate the fast horse to hurry, and there is no need to pity the fast horse. Generally, the fast horses that "run the dead horse" are either scrapped or die soon after, because their spirit has been exhausted. Whether it is a "dead horse" or a "dead horse", the horses used are the best fast horses in the local or military area, although there is no guarantee that each horse is a "thousand miles horse", "sweat and blood horse", "chasing the wind horse", but it is definitely a good horse.

Zhan Xiaoxiao used his light skills to gently attach to the fast horse like a ball of cotton. The lighter the weight of the fast horse, the faster it can run, and under the command of the reins in Zhanxiao's hand, it flies to the destination and runs to the destination. For the first four hours, the horse was running forward at almost full speed. Zhan Xiaoxiao also knew that this was already the limit of fast horses. When the fast horse gradually slowed down, Zhan Xiaoxiao immediately grabbed the reins, and Zhan Xiaoxiao gave the fast horse time to rest and graze, while solving the "physiological problem" and eating problem for himself. After a break of less than fifteen minutes, Zhan Xiaoxiao continued to pull the fast horse and hurry.

After the fast horse was rested, his strength recovered a lot, and he continued to rush with all his might. But after holding on for less than two hours, the speed became slower and slower, not to mention, and there was a little rebellion and was unwilling to continue to run forward with all his might. This requires a small "spur", all animals are almost the same, and if they are too indulgent or accommodating, they will only be lawless. When necessary, strong behavior is required, the ox will pull the plow when it hears the whip, the donkey will grind desperately when it is beaten, the dog guarding the door will be serious when it hears the master's shouting, the pig at home will know to obey the order after a few hungry meals, and the same is true for the horse, which will not be obedient if it is not beaten or reprimanded. Zhan Xiaoxiao pinched the horse's belly hard, and the fast horse had to continue to hurry. Whenever the fast horse slowed down, Zhan Xiaoxiao used his strong legs to clamp the fast horse, and the fast horse had to keep hurrying.

In order not to tire the fast horse, Zhan Xiaoxiao is quite kind, and rests for a while every four or five hours. But the fast horse, which had been running all night, became more and more disobedient, not only deliberately "grinding foreign workers", but also wanting to eat the tender grass when he saw it, and his attention was not on the road. At this time, Zhan Xiaoxiao had no choice but to pick up the horsewhip that he didn't want to use, so he had to wave the horsewhip in the air, hoping to use the horsewhip to scare the fast horse. When the fast horse heard the sound of the whip, it seemed to know that it was very powerful, and it seemed that it had suffered a little. The horse immediately began to run again, and had to continue on the road with all his might.

But after a long time, the old problem of fast horses was committed again. Zhan Xiaoxiao had no choice but to continue to whip and scare the fast horse. But more and more can't scare Kuaima, Kuaima thinks that Zhan Xiaoxiao is just scaring himself, so he starts to ignore Zhan Xiaoxiao again.

Zhan Xiaoxiao had no choice but to really whip it, and a whip hit the fast horse's buttocks. Immediately, the horse let out a neigh, as if to say, "You're playing for real." Okay, I'm scared of you. "The fast horse was threatened by the whip and had to run forward desperately. When Zhan Xiaoxiao arrived at the accident site, the fast horse could no longer hold on, and the scars from more than 30 whips on his body were so scary that the blood stains were terrifying. In fact, the fast horse can't speak, otherwise it would tell everyone that it has not received more than thirty lashes, but forty-seven lashes, and some of the whips are repeated wounds, so everyone thinks that there is only one. I can't see that this body is not heavy, and Zhan Xiaoxiao, who looks very loving, is ruthless enough, and this fast horse almost cripples her. Fast Horse estimates that he won't dare to let Zhan Xiaoxiao ride in the future, no, he definitely saw Zhan Xiaoxiao's appearance and smelled Zhan Xiaoxiao's smell, and immediately hid away.

Zhan Xiaoxiao rushed into Qin Tai's tent, and finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Qin Tai and the "old drunkard" master in a daze in the tent. Zhan Xiaoxiao is really worried that Qin Tai will also have an accident with him, so Zhan Xiaoxiao will really "go berserk".

When Qin Tai saw Zhan Xiaoxiao, he also glared for a while. He said slowly, "Why are you here?" Are you coming back alone? What about the little Lingzi? ”

Zhan Xiaoxiao pursed his lips unhappily, and said slowly: "If you go back to the adult, only one of your subordinates will come back." Xiao Lingzi was still inquiring about the news on the spot. His subordinates were ordered by the governor Hu Zongxian to come to meet the lord. As he spoke, he respectfully handed the token to Qin Tai.

At this time, not only were there outsiders, but there were also many soldiers guarding outside the tent, so Zhan Xiaoxiao not only had to take into account the face of Qin Tai, the commander, but also had to hide his identity. You must not let outsiders see your true identity at this critical time, so as not to cause extraneous complications and affect Qin Tai to solve the case. You must know that Qin Tai is a workaholic, if anyone dares to disturb his work progress when he is working to solve the case, even if it is the emperor Laozi, he will not give face. Zhan Xiaoxiao was really afraid of offending Qin Tai, and he was afraid that Qin Tai would stay away from him. Zhan Xiaoxiao knows very well in his heart that his future is not in himself, but in this Qin Tai. Qin Tai will soar in the future, and he will follow the scenery; If Qin Tai is unlucky, he will starve and suffer with him in the future; If Qin Tai offends people in the future and is pushed out of the noon gate and beheaded, he will be a widow. Therefore, for Zhan Xiaoxiao, Qin Tai is the most important focus, and he must not provoke Qin Tai, the "living ancestor".

After Qin Tai waved his hand to call the irrelevant people out, he pulled Zhan Xiaoxiao to sit down. The only thing that made Zhan Xiaoxiao a little happy was that Qin Tai took the initiative to take Zhan Xiaoxiao's hand for the first time and poured a bowl of tea for himself. Although the tea is already a little cold, and the taste is a little light, Zhan Xiaoxiao seems to be very happy to drink it while holding the tea bowl.

The "old drunkard" master on the side saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart, it seemed that Zhan Xiaoxiao's plan to become the young lady of the Qin family had taken another step. The "old drunkard" master has long regarded Zhan Xiaoxiao as his daughter, and sincerely hopes that Zhan Xiaoxiao will have a good home. Originally, the "old drunkard" master always felt that Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao were a little inappropriate. Qin Tai is too serious, he does things at a glance, if he is in business, it is not a big problem, at most it is just that the business is not big, but Qin Tai is an official, an official of the Criminal Department, so Qin Tai's future road will be very difficult. Zhan Xiaoxiao is like a boy, not only not has a good temper, but also is easy to be impulsive. Zhan Xiaoxiao is actually not Qin Tai's best partner, and Zhan Xiaoxiao will definitely become Qin Tai's drag in the future. But God linked the two of them together, so that Zhan Xiaoxiao disguised herself as a man and became Qin Tai's assistant, and Zhan Xiaoxiao had fallen in love with Qin Tai. This is the will of God, that is, the fate between the two of them. Since Zhan Xiaoxiao not only admired Qin Tai, but was already infatuated with Qin Tai, as Zhan Xiaoxiao's friend, the "old drunkard" master had no choice but to help Zhan Xiaoxiao, get Qin Tai's heart as soon as possible, and pull the two of them into a pair.

The "Ma Sandao" on the side was about to speak, but after realizing something immediately, he hurriedly stopped talking. In fact, "Ma Sandao" wanted to remind Zhan Xiaoxiao that the tea bowl she was drinking was "Ma Sandao" he had just drunk. But after thinking of his suspicions, "Ma Sandao" didn't dare to say anything more. "Ma Sandao" has long suspected that Zhan Xiaoxiao is a girl, and Zhan Xiaoxiao seems to have fallen in love with Qin Tai. Seeing Qin Tai pour a bowl of tea for Zhan Xiaoxiao, and Zhan Xiaoxiao happily took it and drank it, "Ma Sandao" was even more sure of his opinion. If this Zhan Xiaoxiao is not a girl, she is a "rabbit" who likes men, but according to the observation of "Ma Sandao", Zhan Xiaoxiao should be a little girl dressed as a man. There are only two tea bowls on the table, and the "old drunkard" master has never drunk wine and not tea, so one of the tea bowls is Qin Tai's, and the other is "Ma Sandao". "Ma Sandao" drinks tea is to drink water, and after a few bowls of cow, it is placed on the table. Qin Tai took the empty bowl casually, and he didn't see whether it was clean or not, so he gave Zhan Xiaoxiao a drink when he got a bowl of tea. It's still the usual Zhan Xiaoxiao, and he will definitely look at the surrounding environment and people before drinking water, but this time it happened to be the first time Qin Tai poured tea for Zhan Xiaoxiao. Excitedly showing a small amount, plus the sloppy Qin Tai, and the "old drunkard" master who was watching the play on the side, no one found this problem. "Ma Sandao" decided that it was better not to know, so as not to make trouble for Zhan Xiaoxiao in the future, not to mention, the "old drunkard" master and Qin Tai would also "wear small shoes" for themselves.

After drinking the tea that was actually light and tasteless, Zhan Xiaoxiao felt that this tea was even better than honey. She really wanted to be able to drink the tea poured by Qin Tai himself every day, if Qin Tai poured the water and looked at herself with affection, this taste would be even better. Zhan Xiaoxiao involuntarily started his "daydream" and looked forward to a better future.

Qin Tai was already a little impatient, and poured tea for Zhan Xiaoxiao, but Zhan Xiaoxiao held the tea bowl and tasted it slowly. Qin Tai also estimated that Zhan Xiaoxiao was tired, so he patiently waited for Zhan Xiaoxiao and did not disturb Zhan Xiaoxiao to drink tea. But after Zhan Xiaoxiao took a small sip of tea, he began to be in a daze again. Qin Tai said a little anxiously: "Tell me how you met Hu Zongxian?" Why did Hu Zongxian give you a token? What did he say again? ”

Although Qin Tai and Hu Zongxian have not met, their images are very bad. When the treasure was cracked, in order to alleviate the financial problems on the front line, Qin Tai secretly hid some of the treasures that were easy to sell, as well as a large amount of gold and silver, and only let the people of Jinyiwei and Dongchang take away some worthless treasures that could not be sold. Qin Tai did not embezzle a penny and handed over all the treasures to the officers who came to take over. This money has become the main source of funding for the current anti-Japanese war, that is, it has helped Hu Zongxian, the former commander-in-chief of the enemy. But this Hu Zongxian not only was not grateful to Qin Tai, but also sent someone to investigate Qin Tai. Nominally to protect Qin Tai, but in fact, he is secretly investigating whether Qin Tai is corrupt, it seems that this Hu Zongxian not only does not trust Qin Tai, but also wants to use Qin Tai and his group as his "stepping stones" to push out. Qin Tai is an upright person, he doesn't have a penny of unknown income, and if there is no problem in the investigation, it will be forgotten, but Hu Zongxian instructed his subordinates to lead Qin Tai into a trap. Qin Tai was almost going to die in this Qianqiu Pavilion, Hu Zongxian was so ruthless that he wanted to borrow someone else's hand to kill Qin Tai. In this way, not only all the credit of Qin Tai became Hu Zongxian's, but all the treasures that Qin Tai gave Hu Zongxian became a secret. Not only can Hu Zongxian be at ease, but he can also be corrupt without supervision. So Qin Tai really looked down on this Jiangnan governor Hu Zongxian.
