Since Lei Xiaotian returned to his life, Lei Yuting ordered people to notify the yamen of various states and counties, sort out the population classics, make a book and draw Ding, and urge grain to pay taxes. It's a busy day. After staying for another five or six days, a quick horse book came, which turned out to be a letter from Lei Xiaotian's family, saying that Qianhu could go to the Jeju City Gate in the afternoon, and asked his uncle to prepare in advance. Lei Yuting read the letter, rewarded him with an ingot of official silver, and said: "Please ask the messenger to reply to my nephew, saying that the old man is ready to be ready to wait!" When the messenger had received the money, he was glad in his heart, thanked him repeatedly, and hastened his horse and went.

Sending off the messenger, Lei Yuting immediately ordered the officials above the seventh rank in the state capital to gather at the prefect's yamen, and as soon as it was past noon, he went with the prefect to meet the Qincha in front of the city gate. At the same time, he called the master and the housekeeper and instructed: "The post house is simple, and thousands of households will stay in the Lei Mansion, and Steward Zhang will choose the first-class rooms for good students to settle, and there must be no negligence." The restaurant in the city is noisy, tonight the family banquet is bad, Steward Zhang must arrange carefully, good wine, good meat, mountain and sea delicacies are indispensable. Mr. Ziyu went out of the city with his husband, and he planned in person when he encountered trouble. ”

Both were commanded. Dong Guo Liang shook the feather fan, and stopped talking. Seeing this, Lei Yuting asked, "Ziyu has something to say, please tell me!" Dong Guo Liang said: "That Xinzan official residence Wupin, today out of the city to meet the Qincha, I am afraid that it will be bad for adults!" Lei Yuting replied: "There is no need to worry about this, Na Xinzan sent a letter yesterday, saying that he was seriously ill and difficult to get out of bed. Dong Guo Liang listened to it and said bluntly: "This is the best!" But there was a poisonous plan to frame Xin Zan in his heart!

Just after noon that day, the prefect of Lei led a group of officials out of the north gate of Jeju and waited for the arrival of the Qin mission. The sun was blazing, and beyond the gates was a dry place, and there were no trees to shade it. A group of officials are pampered on weekdays, and they have never suffered such hardships, and within half a moment, they will sweat and sweat, and it will be hot and stuffy. The neat procession immediately began to loosen, and even worse, they took off their official hats and untied their collars, waving their hands to the wind to cool off, and there was no official manners at all. Seeing this, Lei Zhifu was angry and resolutely stopped. However, I also have a dry mouth, and I can't support it. It wasn't until the day was approaching the West Mountain that I saw the post soldiers come to report: there was a guard of honor for the Qincha three miles away.

Lei Zhifu was busy ordering the officials to tidy up their appearance, pack up their bags, and arrange them in two columns according to the civil and military officials, and stand neatly under the city gate. After a while, I saw a pair of centaurs coming slowly in the distance. Led by four sturdy lieutenants, holding signs that read "Quiet" and "Avoid". Later, there were two generals riding tall horses, each holding a large flag, which read: "Minister of the Imperial Mission" and "Hunting on behalf of the Heavens". The big banner was displayed in the wind, and it was even more majestic and majestic, and it was the leader of this line, which shocked the crowd and couldn't help but make people afraid.

Afterwards, there was a guard of honor for the Qincha, with a red banner at the head, and a ceremonial knife and stirrup staff behind them, shouting loudly: "The Qincha is out on patrol, be quiet!" Avoid! ”。 Then there is the chariot of Qincha, the thousand households are good at martial arts, and they don't like the sedan car, so they ride a horse. I saw that among the crowd, there was a heroic young man, eight feet tall, tiger eyes and thick eyebrows, a phoenix-winged purple jade crown on his head, wearing a silver lock and gold armor, wearing a carved dragon seven-star sword on his waist, a thousand miles of five-spotted horses under his crotch, and a pear blossom soul-breaking gun in his palm. This was followed by the brave guards, all of whom were strong and powerful, holding spears and sabers, and holding flags to cover the sun, so not majestic. A group of people came to Jeju City.

Seeing that the guard of honor was approaching, the Lei prefect bowed and shouted: "Welcome to the Qincha!" Seeing this, the thousand households said, "You don't have to be polite!" Then he ordered the prefect to approach and said: "The prefect is entangled in official business, why should he come to greet him!" ”

Lei Yuting hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "Xiao Chitose came to Jeju with a precious body, which is really a blessing for Jeju and a blessing for the common people!" How dare you slack off in your humble position? After a tiring day of driving, the humble duty has prepared a dinner party in the mansion to wash the dust for the Qincha! ”

The two of them were polite, and then moved to the Lei Mansion. The subordinate led the guard of honor. Lei Yuting and the thousand households went straight to the banquet hall. Thunderstorm Pavilion invites thousands of households to sit down and accompany themselves. Jeju officials above the seventh rank and some wealthy gentry attended the banquet. Due to the large number of people, many low-ranking officials could only sit in the courtyard. Everyone admires the dignity of Qincha and thinks it is an honor, but it is proud to be able to drink with thousands of households, and it is enough to boast of others.

Then the drums sounded in unison, and the orchid singers danced slowly. The delicacies of the mountains and seas, the elixir and the jade liquid, all kinds of delicacies are overwhelming, too numerous to mention, and it is dazzling. All kinds of wine vessels and plates are made of jade and gold, reflecting the candlelight of the Tongming official lamp, which is particularly dazzling. Qin Cha sat upright, looking down at the crowd; The prefect bowed down and humbled up. Although the officials of Jeju City are plain and well-dressed, they have never seen such prosperity, and they are all afraid and envious. Is:

The delicacies are not exhaustive, and the clouds and silk bamboo are long at night.

Prosperity has been like a dream since ancient times, and gold has been sold overnight!

But he said that after three rounds of drinking, Lei Zhifu stepped forward and said: "The arrival of Xiao Chitose has made my border city colorful, and the lintel is shining, and Jeju is admired and admired." The officials held the key to welcome the general; The people ate pot pulp in the hope of the general. Today, the lowly officials of Jeju salute the three cups of Xiao Chitose, and wish me the prosperity of the Dajin Kingdom and the continuation of the country; Second, I wish the generalissimo a victory in the expedition and an early victory; Three wishes for the success of Chitose and the future is immeasurable. Everyone echoed the prefect and raised their glasses and said: "I wish Xiao Chitose a great success and a bright future!" ”

Seeing that the feast was like this, the prefect was humble and polite, drank three cups, and replied happily: "Ben Chin sent this trip, not only to receive the holy order, but also to receive the father's instructions, and dare not slack off. The citizens of Jeju City are healthy and prosperous, and they all rely on the prefect of Lei to eat and drink, and they are righteous and peaceful. Here, I also respect the future of the prefect and the officials, and the wealth of the people of Jeju is changing with each passing day! ”

All the officials raised their glasses in front, and Xie Qin sent love. Since he is smeared with liver and brain, he will not give up. Xiao Chitose took the opportunity to put on an official prestige, and said with a straight face: "This patrol, with the emperor's father's order, is involved in the military plan, and it all depends on your plans and plans, and work together to lift heavy responsibilities." If you have merit, you will be on the court, and you will be rewarded to ensure your glory and wealth; If he does not do his best, Ben Qincha will never be soft, dismissed from his post, and punished for confiscation; Those who dare to stop the ring breaker will not be able to protect their heads, and they will connect the three clans. ”

The sound of thunder, the mighty universe. The crowd trembled and did not dare to reply. The master whispered next to the Lei Governor's Mansion, and the Lei Governor's Mansion said in the foreword: "Who dares to disobey the order of the Qin Mission, Jeju." He has sent people to raise 30,000 stone of grain and grass and 100,000 taels of military silver, which can be used at any time. However, I know that the border is now tight, and the use of this money and grain is particularly large, and I am afraid that I will not be able to match the use of this money and grain. However, Jeju is narrow and sparsely populated, and it is difficult to regain it if it is urged to be relevant. Things change quickly, but it's difficult! ”

The thousands of households searched all the way, and he never saw such generosity, but there was a huge shortage of grain and grass supply and demand, and this Jeju City was his last hope. Then he got up and sat down, took the hand of the prefect of Lei, and said earnestly: "Ben Qin sent the prefect of Lei to be loyal to the country and do his best, but in this difficult period, the military needs are very large, everything should be man-made, it is related to the national fortune and society, and I hope that the prefect will not resign, and then raise grain, grass and silver money to relieve the country!" ”

Lei Zhifu pondered for a while, stepped forward and replied: "Serving the country is the ambition of life, how can there be any reason to excuse it?" However, the people of Li were tired and urged too much, which led to chaos. There is a way to solve this military need, and it will not lead to a popular uprising. As long as one person goes out of the mountain, he can raise another 20,000 yuan of grain and grass and 50,000 yuan of silver money overnight, so everything is safe! When Qianhu heard this, he was overjoyed, and he couldn't imagine that Lei Zhifu still had a back hand, and he had such a clever plan, so he asked, "What is this plan?" Who is this person? ”

Seeing that thousands of households were overjoyed, Governor Lei knew that this plan would be successful, and he no longer paved the way, and said bluntly: "This policy is inconvenient for everyone to know, please follow me to the side room to discuss." Then he led thousands of households to the partial room, retreated from the people, and said: "There are many wealthy gentry in this Jeju City, all of whom are wealthy families, rich and rich, and often with the imperial court. Jeju Seongseo Chosan Daefu Shinzan is very popular and is the leader of the gentry, so he will be able to succeed if he comes forward to take charge of the fundraising. It's just that this duke is conceited and talented, and he often despises the court, and he is afraid that he will not serve! ”

When Qianhu heard this, he said, "Where is this person?" Now I can ask him to meet with Ben Chin, explain the benefits and disadvantages face to face, and ask him to serve the country's body and the whole military state's important business. After the deed is completed, he will be shown to raise great merits, and the court will be rewarded! ”

Lei Yuting listened carefully, and had evil intentions in his heart, so he said: "This person has always been high and arrogant, Wen Qincha is young, and he refuses to condescend, so he brought me a letter, saying that he is sick and will welcome him in the future. Humble persuasion of Xiao Chitose, or choose a good day and auspicious day, prepare generous gifts, carry books, and worship his door, maybe he can help, otherwise he instigates the people, calls on the squires and refuses the imperial decree, then the crowd rises, and the military affairs are also bad! ”

Those thousand households have no intentions, and since they were ordered to inspect, they are flatterers everywhere, and they can stand such anger. Listening to Lei Yuting's instigation, he didn't distinguish between right and wrong, and said angrily: "Bold fanatics, relying on the old and selling the old, dare to despise me, it's really unreasonable." Ben Chin sent the oracle to add to him, how can he mock him? Tomorrow an edict ordering him to come to me quickly, and he should be proper in this matter, and if he dares to slack off and violate the holy order, he will be beheaded and destroyed. Forgive him for not being able to play any tricks! ”

The two discussed and went back to the banquet hall to drink. The officials appreciated the majesty of the Qincha and did not dare to make a mistake, so they sang flattering songs one after another, for fear that they would be negligent for a while, lose their upper pipe hats, and damage their rare future fortune. Lei Yuting saw that the poison plan had been completed, and just waited for Na Xinzan to deal with it, so he just ordered everyone to toast at this time, and he was so good that he would entertain Qincha. When the feast was dismissed, the officials were supported by the servants to return to their respective homes. Steward Zhang beckoned to settle down and rest on a mission, and the rest will not be repeated. A vigorous dinner party ended like this, under the shroud of night, the prosperity of the surface was finally silent, but the sword and sword shadow behind the silence had just begun!
