Liang Tao stared at Zhao Huang for a long time, and said lightly: "Win a straight name and invite people to buy people's hearts, is this what Zhang Duanjing taught you?" ”

Zhao Xiao closed his eyes tightly, his teeth chattered, but when he thought of the scene after the military disaster he saw along the way, he still endured his fear and said: "The soldiers are ominous, so they have to be used as a last resort." If you can forgive and subdue the thieves, it will also show the kindness of the national teacher. ”

"Sharp teeth." Liang Tao looked at Luo Xixian and said with great interest: "Young Master Luo, this Zhao Huang has repeatedly shown courtesy to me before, claiming that he has been yearning for the Chongxuan Pavilion for a long time, and begging to worship the old man. You are here on behalf of the Huaiying Pavilion, what do you think should be done? ”

Luo Xixian was so overwhelmed by Liang Tao's power that he stopped talking, bowing his head and not daring to speak.

"Zhao Xiao, you disappointed me so much." Liang Tao got up and brushed his sleeves, looked to the side and said, "General Wei, are you giving orders, or is the old man doing it himself?" ”

General Wei knows very well that although the bandits in Xingluo County have been pacified, many of the Liang family's children have died, and the swordsmen have fled without a trace.

Considering his future, General Wei had no choice but to give an order, but before he could speak, the rain outside the tent suddenly stopped, the sky was bright, and a gust of strong wind blew into the inside, directly blowing the camp tent away.

This kind of movement is unusual at first glance, and the monks of the inner hall have sacrificed magic weapons and charms, and when they look up, they can see a god general with a sword soaring into the clouds, looking down at the people below with angry eyes.

"Stop!" Hengbi Gong shouted angrily, shocking everyone present, he looked directly at Liang Tao and said: "Liang Shouzao, Xingluo County has been in turmoil for many years, and now you have to rest in peace, you have to start killing again today?" ”

Liang Tao squinted and said, "You want to stop me too?" ”

"This seat is now the city god of Xingluo County, and you should abide by your duties and not show favoritism because of your past friendships!" Hengbi Gong said bluntly: "Liang Shouzao is the respect of the national teacher, when the immortal Dao is a noble life, so indiscriminately killed, don't you worry about the burden in the future?" ”

Liang Tao's eyebrows stretched slightly and nodded slightly, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was definitely not a sign of approval. Seeing that Liang Guoshi was silent for a long time, he glanced at Zhao Xiao, and suddenly smiled: "Okay, the old man will sell his favor." It's just that if there is another disturbance in the Sunset County, don't say that the old man has not warned. ”

After saying this, Liang Tao raised his sleeves and flew away. Zhao Xiao slowly lowered his arms and looked at the many thieves and people, many of whom knelt down and kowtowed to Hengbi Gong, grateful for the grace of saving their lives.

General Wei also breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered the soldiers to release the thieves, and as for the rest of the thieves, they should also be re-registered and strictly guarded, and they were not just let go.

After dealing with these, General Wei bowed deeply to Hengbi Gong: "Thank you Hengbi Gong for relieving the siege, after the last general returns to Yanze City, he will definitely be devout and respectful!" ”

"What this seat should do, you can wait for yourself." After saying this, Hengbi Gong glanced at Zhao Xiao, didn't say much, and his body dissipated like smoke.

The other monks dispersed, and Zhao Xiao saw Luo Xixian looking at him suspiciously, and said in frustration: "I ......"

"Okay, what's the matter, I'll talk about it later." Luo Xixian remembered General Wei's warning, but he didn't get angry, but just held the long sword at his waist with a gloomy face, turned around and left, leaving Zhao Xiao alone, standing in the open space.

……

When the official army returned to Shiozawa Castle, the Holy Decree of the Kingdom Lord from Dongkatsu Capital also arrived at the same time. In the will, General Wei and the various pavilions were first praised for their efforts in suppressing bandits, and it was pointed out that Luo Xixian should go to Dongshengdu with General Wei to pay homage to the lord of the country.

This holy decree is quite special, and there is no praise or disparage for the Chongxuan Pavilion where many Liang children died, perhaps because it was the national teacher Liang Tao who left Xingluo County early.

People with a heart can hear the subtlety, and many people feel that this time Chongxuanguan's contribution in Xingluo County is shallow, and most of the young children led by Liang Shuo are incompetent, and if they really want to encounter strong enemies and bandits, it will not be useful at all, and they just rely on the national teacher Liang Tao to turn the situation around at a critical juncture.

No one denies Liang Guoshi's immortal family cultivation, but many are also happy to see that there is no successor to Chongxuanguan. The unfavorable and deprecating of the holy decree of the lord of the country itself arouses speculation.

But at the moment, these are not important, the bandits in Xingluo County have been pacified, Wang Juncheng has prepared a banquet early, and before the official and military divisions return to the court, they entertained General Wei and a group of monks who had returned from victory.

"Zhao Fu, why are you here?"

Wang Juncheng drank three rounds, left the table to change clothes, and just came back, he saw Zhao Xiao sitting in the corridor outside the hall.

Zhao Xiao said: "I ...... I don't like to drink, and I don't like the banquet to be noisy. ”

Wang Juncheng looked at the brightly lit hall in the distance, and there were bursts of laughter and laughter in it, he saw that Zhao Xiao was depressed, and sat next to him and asked, "Is it because of the incident that Liang Guoshi ordered to kill and surrender?" ”

Zhao Xiao lowered his head and flicked his fingers: "I passed through a lot of countryside some time ago, and all I saw was a depression. I just hope that this bandit will end as soon as possible, and I don't expect anything else. But it was clear that the bandits had been decided, but the result was ...... Forget it, let's not talk about it. ”

Seeing him like this, Wang Juncheng said earnestly: "Zhao Fuyi is still young, so he should not be contaminated with this kind of decadence. ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang, for your advice." Zhao Xiao said.

"There's nothing to point at it." Wang Juncheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Now that the bandits can be calmed down, I will save a lot of trouble." A few days ago, he had already written and resigned from the government, just waiting for the new official to arrive, hand over the letter printing documents, and return to his hometown to become a teacher. ”

Zhao Huang asked, "Doesn't Lord Wang plan to benefit the people?" With all due respect, if Starfall County had been ruled by you earlier, why would there be so much chaos? ”

Wang Juncheng waved his hand and said: "Zhao Fuyi doesn't seem to understand yet, my resignation is not entirely for idleness, but also to avoid trouble." After the bandits are calmed down this time, it is estimated that there will be a dispute over who will govern Xingluo County in the court. I wrote to resign at this time, not to say that it was to abdicate and make way for the virtuous, but it was appropriate, at least no one should be offended, so as not to be held accountable by the ministers and nobles in the future. ”

Zhao Huang asked: "Shouldn't the magistrate be a meritorious?" Even if it's about merit and reward, it's okay. ”

"Meritocracy is very important, but the family background, the teacher's background, and the in-laws and old friends are equally important. What's more, there are not many capable ministers and officials in Huaxu State, as for the virtuous and unvirtuous...... It's a shame. Wang Juncheng shook his head and smiled.

"It's my shortsightedness." Zhao Xiao sighed with a sigh, then took out a book from his arms and handed it to Wang Juncheng.

"What is this?" Wang Juncheng took the book, and his eyes were surprised after not turning a few pages.

Zhao Xiao replied: "In order to arrange the mandala ritual, I have stayed in many rural market towns in Xingluo County, and I have taken the time to inquire about the local situation, although I can't find out everything clearly, but I also know a rough idea.

Since the imperial court is going to send a new county guard to take office, when Lord Wang hands over the file documents, this part can also be mixed in with the inside, so that the new county guard can know the local truth and be sympathetic to the people when governing one side in the future. ”

Wang Juncheng was full of emotion: "Zhao Fu, you are really ...... The official didn't know what to say. ”

A smile appeared on Zhao Xiao's face: "Then how do I do this thing?" ”

"Want to hear the truth?" Wang Juncheng saw Zhao Xiao nodding, and said while looking: "The records are sparse and the categories are not clear, there are many men, women and children in Dingkou's household registration are unknown, the ploughing tools have not been verified, and there is no distinction between acres of fertile and poor, forests and ponds. If it is proofread with past documents, Zhao Fuyi's part is afraid that it will be thrown back and rewritten by Shangguan. ”

Zhao Xiao's mouth was slightly open, and it was difficult to speak. He used to read a lot of files and books in the county government office, and thought that he could learn some skills in case documents, but in front of real clerical experts, he got such a result.

Wang Juncheng carefully put away the books and comforted him: "But Zhao Fu's move is better than his intentions, and the clerks in the government office are used to seeing the local situation, and they have long been numb. ”

Zhao Xiao smiled bitterly: "No matter how true your intentions are, you must have something to say and be effective, otherwise it will be reduced to useless nonsense." ”

Wang Juncheng said: "Zhao Fu doesn't have to be like this, I also want to thank you." If it weren't for your help in the past six months, many things would have been slow. Thinking back now, you first found out the news of Excalibur, but unfortunately you didn't pay attention to it, and finally caused a catastrophe, and even Liang Gongzi died on the battlefield. ”

Speaking of this, the two sighed separately, and Zhao Xiao suddenly remembered something: "By the way, that Ding Maocai, I remember that he was still locked up in the well prison." ”

"A few days ago, there was an order from the imperial court, and no demons in Chiyun were left, and I have asked the jailer to behead them." Wang Juncheng said: "Maybe it was because he had been locked up in the well prison for too long, and Ding Mao was damaged by his own feces and filth, and when he fished it up, he was stupid, and it didn't take much effort." ”

Zhao Xiao shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, who told him to take refuge in Chiyundu." ”

"Zhao Fuzhi won't go in?" Wang Juncheng heard the sound of persuasion from inside, and the most eye-catching person at this banquet was not General Wei, but Luo Xixian, who was about to be summoned by the lord of the country.

"I want to go and relax." After Zhao Huang got up, he bowed deeply to Wang Juncheng.

"Why should Zhao Furen be like this!" Wang Juncheng hurriedly helped each other.

Zhao Huang said: "Thank you Lord Wang for teaching me by word and deed in the past, I have been taught a lot by your side, please accept this worship!" ”

After saying goodbye to Wang Juncheng, Zhao Xiao left the county government office, walked aimlessly on the road, happened to pass a restaurant, and saw a group of rich men in brocade clothes and embroidered robes around the table, and there were many obscene words in the words.

"Little lady, it's dark at night, why are you drinking alone here?"

"Isn't it that her husband is weak and makes the little lady lonely? Good brother, I have a big baby here, do you want to take a look? ”

"Little lady, don't listen to his nonsense, I have good aging wine at home, much better than this street shop, plus the house is secluded, why don't you go with me?"

Zhao Xiao didn't want to care, but he heard Jiang Ru's sweet voice: "If a few good brothers have a heart, they will get into the slave's car, and let's go outside the city to enjoy the moonlight, okay?" ”

This voice was unusual, the rich men were fascinated and agreed to come down, Zhao Xiao couldn't stand it, so he went up directly to push away the crowd and said to Jiang Ru: "Have you made enough trouble?" ”

Jiang Ru's face was startled at first, and then turned lazy and decadent, and her cheeks were obliquely branched without saying a word. Those men who were fascinated by the charm of the trick pulled Zhao Xiao's collar, Zhao Huang was already upset, and raised his hand to slap a few times.

Most of the tricks were broken, and those men were not yet conscious, thinking that it was a good thing to be ruined by Zhao Xiao, and they shouted one after another, raising their fingers and threatening one by one.

Zhao Xiao turned his head and turned around, shaking the white ribbon of Zhu Wen on his waist: "I'm Zhao Huang of Huaiying Pavilion, which of you wants to trouble me?!" ”

Zhao Xiao's name is not unresounding in Yanze City, these prodigal men are just mortals, how dare they fight against the monks of the pavilion? ran out of the restaurant in a gloomy manner, and no one dared to say a word.

"Zhao Fu, you are a good thing for others." Jiang Ru suddenly raised his hand, gently put it on Zhao Xiao's arm, and leaned on his arms as soon as he twisted his body, drunk and confused.

"Don't pretend." Zhao Xiao pushed Jiang Ru away and said, "Isn't it possible to let you go on a big scale to make up for those few people?" ”

Jiang Ru's cheeks were red, and she leaned back in the chair and smiled bitterly: "Zhao Fu, these men came to the door by themselves, and they were also looking for fun, I just went with their hearts, don't you even care about other people's happiness?" ”

Zhao Xiao didn't answer, Jiang Ru poured himself a wine and said: "From the first time I saw you, I thought you were a nosy guy, you don't seem to know at all how disgusting you are." ”

Zhao Xiao sat opposite, his lips moved but he still didn't speak, Jiang Ru suddenly laughed: "By the way, I heard before that you are still in the army in public against Liang Shouzao?" Zhao Furen is really heroic, which makes the slave family admire. ”

"Does making fun of me make you happy?" Zhao Xiao asked rhetorically.

"Rejoice! Couldn't be happier! Jiang Ru's face suddenly turned hideous, the cup in his hand was spilled, and the wine spilled on the table: "You killed Liang Shuo and cut off my future immortal path, what if I make fun of you a few words?" ”

"Is it beyond my power to decide whether to win or lose life or death on the battlefield?" Zhao Huang said: "As far as I learned afterwards, General Wei also sent a letter asking Liang Shuo to leave for the front line, and this matter was expected by all. ”

"But if something happens, I will prevaricate more, and Zhao Fuyi will bully a weak woman like me." Jiang Ru sneered.

Zhao Xiao had no intention of arguing, but said: "Your Jiang family can at least get the protection of the Yongjia Liang family, although there is no Liang Shuo, it does not prevent you from fighting for yourself." ”

"To put it lightly, aren't you also thinking about climbing the Chongxuan Pavilion wholeheartedly? The result? Jiang Ru sneered: "For those who make trouble and make trouble, I gave up my good future." ”

Zhao Xiao understood that he openly contradicted Liang Tao, and he was afraid that there was no hope for going to Chongxuan Pavilion, and now that he thinks about it, he still regrets it, where did he get the courage at that time? Obviously, I have always been afraid of things.

was so provoked by Jiang Ru, Zhao Xiao lost his temper instead, and slapped the table: "What about Chongxuan Pavilion?" It's nothing more than relying on Liang Tao's hard work to support, I think sooner or later the tree will fall and scatter! Such a broken place, from top to bottom, the stench of decay and corruption, Lao Tzu is not uncommon! ”

Zhao Xiaoyan brushed his sleeves and left, leaving Jiang Ru to sit alone and speechless, and disappeared into the night.
