Chapter 30: Granny Flower
"Thank you for the reward of the hundred households! The subordinates will fulfill their duties and live up to the cultivation of the adults!"
Xu Wenkang and the four of them solemnly thanked them.
Shangguan Invincible nodded, and then continued to speak:
"Now Luoyan County is full of hidden dangers, in order to deal with the tense situation, the staff of 100 households must be full!
Counting the manpower brought by this office, there is still a gap of more than 70 people.
How long will it take to recruit all of them?"
"Back to my lord, my Jinyiwei is the secretary that everyone yearns for, as long as there is a list, there will be many good talents to vote!
Coupled with your majesty today, it will be completed in less than three hours!"
Xu Wenkang said very confidently, because this is the case.
Jinyi Wei Yulu has a good treatment and high status, which one doesn't want to join?
"Okay! This matter will be handed over to you to personally supervise, and when the final round of screening is carried out, all the original personnel of the hundred households will be assembled.
This government will personally take this last pass!"
"No!"
Xu Wenkang didn't think much about it, thinking that Lord Baihu just wanted to meet his subordinates.
After Xu Wenkang retreated, Shangguan Invincible looked at the other three again.
"Who is in charge of the spy department?"
"Go back to the hundred households, it's a subordinate!"
Luo Ren hurriedly stepped forward in response.
"Okay, in the future, Gu Zheng will patronize Zongqi as your deputy, and the two of you must cooperate sincerely, and you must create a usable eye and ear!
All the materials needed for training personnel will also be given priority by this office!"
Luo Ren glanced at Gu Zhengguang, who nodded at him, and hurriedly nodded yes.
"General Banner Xu, you arrange for people to summon the Wucheng Banner of Luoyan County, so that the General Banner of the Five Cities will rush to the Hundred Households at noon tomorrow to obey the orders!
In addition, I will hand over invitations to the county guard and the county lieutenant, and ask them to come and discuss the plan of stability tomorrow at noon!"
"No!"
When Xu Yong received the order and left, Shangguan Invincible looked at Su Peng again.
"Mr. Su, you will take this office to inspect the station. ”
Su Peng was stunned when he heard this.
"Lord Baihu, you've been tired all the way, don't you take a break first?"
"Rest?"
Shangguan Invincible sneered, "I'm afraid there is still a poisonous snake hidden in these hundred households that can love people at any time, where does this yamen dare to rest!"
"What do you mean, my lord, that we have all the moles?"
Su Peng's face changed slightly, but there was a look of hesitation on his face.
"But this is impossible, the background of our Jinyi guards has been strictly verified. ”
"There are not many things in this world that are impossible, even the royal palace can be mixed with thieves, not to mention the residence of my Jinyi Guard!
The most important thing is that the nose of the East Factory is not much worse than that of our Jinyiwei.
If they hadn't found any clues, how could they have to 'borrow' my residence at the risk of causing a major conflict?"
Shangguan Invincible snorted coldly, then stood up and walked straight out.
Everyone was stunned at first when they heard this, and then they suddenly realized.
yes, why didn't they think of that?
Originally, I thought that Dongchang just wanted to show off its prestige, but I didn't think about the strangeness in it.
......
"Brother Gu, how do you say that my lord?
From Zhao Prison to the Meritorious Pavilion, to the Military Pavilion, the Dining Pavilion, the Xingma Pavilion, the Information Department, and the Spy Department, eight people have already been found out!
You say these people are really in the dark and can't do it?"
Su Peng peeked at the expressionless Shangguan Invincible behind him, then pulled Gu Zhengguang's sleeve and asked in a low voice.
Gu Zhengguang felt a little funny, but he still replied in a low voice:
"Didn't you see it all? Three of those eight people wanted to kill themselves by poisoning, and two of them subconsciously wanted to escape.
Although there are three of them with blank faces, they seem to be very innocent.
But if all five are problematic, how can these three be fine?
From the far side of my mind, they're just pretending to be calm and trying to get by by luck!
As for what is going on, Zhao Prison is already waiting, and I believe it will not be long before there will be an answer.
Anyway, Brother Su, you just need to remember that the methods of our adults are not something you and I can speculate, as long as you obediently obey orders. ”
Su Peng nodded thoughtfully, raised his eyes and saw the entrance of the flower garden in front of him, and hurriedly introduced Shangguan Invincible in the rear.
"My lord, this flower garden is the last place of the Hundred Households.
Because there are many fluff flowers planted in the flower garden, and the fladding flower tea brewed by the tip buds of the flocculent flower is extremely sweet and mellow, so this flower garden has been operated by us.
The flowers bloom all year round, and the tea is also a kind of welfare for colleagues in the station.
However, although the flower garden is large, it is always taken care of by Granny Hua, and her old man can be regarded as a hero of the station. ”
In the end, Su Peng also chuckled admiringly.
"Granny Flower?"
Shangguan Invincible but his eyes narrowed slightly, originally he was still a little disappointed, feeling that he was thinking too much.
After all, those are actually small fish and shrimp, and it is estimated that they can't get much valuable information.
But as soon as I heard this, I keenly felt the unusualness.
"How long has she been here?"
"I don't know how long it will take.
However, it has been more than ten years since the subordinates came here, and at that time, Granny Hua was already an old man here.
Granny Hua is very good, so her colleagues in the station will help her if they are free. ”
Shangguan Invincible sighed softly, but he stopped talking.
After everyone passed through the semicircular arch and stepped into the flower garden, the scene suddenly made everyone's eyes light up.
The flowerbeds, which cover several acres of space, are almost filled with a touch of bright yellow.
As far as the eye can see, half-human-tall willow-like flower stalks are close together, and on top of them are bright yellow flower bones as big as fists.
The breeze blows, and the fragrance goes straight to the mouth and nose, as refreshing as eating a bite of ice fruit on this hot day!
When the flowers and branches are swaying, there are butterflies and bees shuttling back and forth, and there are also larks and finches caressing and dancing, which is really a beautiful scene in the world!
And in the center of this peaceful and beautiful "picture scroll", there is a figure wearing a grass hat and carrying a flower basket tremblingly cutting flower branches.
"Granny Flower~Granny Flower~The new Lord of the Hundred Households has come to see you~"
Su Peng shouted with a smile at the figure.
Hearing the human voice, the figure seemed to be a little dazed, and slowly turned his head to look around, and only turned his head after three or four breaths.
Everyone finally saw Granny Hua's face, which was an old woman with gray hair, cloudy eyes, wrinkled face, and a slumped back.
When she saw Su Peng, Granny Hua seemed to be very happy, raised her right arm slightly stiffly and waved her hand, and grinned, only five or six yellowed teeth were very conspicuous.
"Ask this flower mother-in-law to come over, Ben Ya wants to talk to her. ”
Shangguan Invincible's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Su Peng thought that the adults of the hundred households were also infected by the infatuation of Granny Hua, and immediately called harder.
"Granny Hua, come here, Lord Baihu wants to talk to you~"
Granny Hua seemed to be a little hesitant because she was flattered, stood in place and pulled her wrinkled clothes, and tightened the flower basket on her left arm, and then slowly walked over.
Granny Hua walked very slowly, but no one showed impatience.
After all, he is an old man who is close to old age, who can bear to urge?
After more than a hundred breaths, Granny Hua walked out of the flower garden.
It's just that, looking at Shangguan Invincible, who was sitting on the stone bench in the gazebo in front of her, Granny Hua was obviously a little afraid and uneasy, and she hesitated and didn't dare to step forward.
Su Peng shook his head amusedly, and simply stepped forward and helped Granny Hua to the front.
"Granny Hua, this is the newly appointed Hundred-Hundred-Household, Lord Shangguan.
Shangguan is very good, you don't have to be afraid.
If you ask anything, you can answer it truthfully. ”
Granny Hua nodded again and again at a loss, and then greeted Shangguan Invincible with a wince.
"Hello, my lord, the old body has given you a salute. ”
As she spoke, Granny Hua wanted to kneel on the ground, but was stopped by Shangguan Invincible with a wave of her hand.
"The old man doesn't need to be polite. Ben Ya is just a little curious, I don't know how long the old man has been here?"
"Hui, Hui, my lord, I don't remember the old body very clearly, there should be more than 30 spring and autumn seasons. ”
Shangguan Invincible couldn't help but sigh and nodded slowly.
"Thirty spring and autumn, thirty days of the sun and moon reset!
In the dream, it is still the lamp of the Ming Palace, and there is no court when you wake up from the dream.
The former king once laughed at the melon field, but there was no awning in his abdomen.
Life is like a play, and the drama is all true, it is really a vicissitudes of life!
Pathetic, pitiful, lamentable!"
As soon as Shangguan Invincible's words came out, the scene that was incomparably warm just now instantly chilled down people's spines.
At the same time that Lu Qing and the others' faces changed greatly, they immediately stroked their right hand on the hilt of the knife.
But Su Peng was at a loss, he was not a fool.
Although he had never heard of this poem, and he didn't know the specific meaning, the words "former king" and "posthumous abdomen" already explained everything!
But he couldn't believe it, or he didn't want to believe it, Granny Hua would be the remnant of the former king!
And Granny Hua, who was the party concerned, was at a loss, as if she couldn't understand what Shangguan Wushu was saying.
Especially when he saw the fierce eyes of Lu Qing and others, he was so frightened that the flower basket in his hand fell to the ground;
The bottles and jars inside suddenly shattered, and the liquid in them splattered onto the pollen.
"Great, sir, what are you talking about? You guys, what are you doing here?"
Seeing Granny Hua's pitiful appearance of panicking and unable to stand steadily, Su Peng couldn't help but plead.
"Lord Baihu, you must have misunderstood, how could Granny Hua be the remnant of the former king......?"
"Misunderstanding?"
Shangguan Invincible glanced at Su Peng, but sneered.
"Then I don't know what Su Zongqi looked like when he saw this flower mother-in-law ten years ago?
What's the difference with what it is now?"
Su Peng subconsciously wanted to answer when he heard this, but he opened his mouth but couldn't speak, and the whole person was stunned.
Because when he first came here ten years ago, Granny Hua seemed to be like this.
Ten years have passed, and not much has changed.
But how is this possible?
Granny Hua is an ordinary person, she has never practiced martial arts, and she is still so old;
How can there be no change in ten years?
