Since Mrs. Su knelt at the door, a few days have passed, the turmoil in Yangzhou City has gradually stopped, and the world has returned to the past lively, Lu Weimang and Xiaoqiu, with a team of black armor guards walking in Yangzhou City, only feel that the past two months, like a dream, after waking up, Yangzhou City is still the same prosperous.

"Xiaoqiu, what do you want to buy, just say, Miss, I'm in a good mood today, and I brought enough money to settle the bill."

Xiaoqiu still had a wooden face as always, but a smile flashed in her eyes, "Miss, please, the slave will not be polite for a while." ”

After visiting a few shops, Lu Weimang took Xiaoqiu into the restaurant to eat, and did not enter the private room, just waited in the lobby and listened to the gossip.

"Brother Zhou, do you think that this Yangzhou wharf seems to be a little larger than in the first half of the year, and my cargo ship docked today, and it didn't take long to enter the port. In the past, there was no half-day scheduling, where did it come in? ”

When Brother Zhou heard this, he glanced around, and saw that no one cared, so he approached the old man and said in a low voice, "Where is the dock expanded, that kind of project can't be completed in a day or two." Our dock is just a change of director. Huo Hou knows, right? He recently presided over government affairs in Yangzhou City, where dare the people below not care? ”

"Hey, I heard a few days ago that Huo Hou went to the south of the Yangtze River, but I didn't think that he was taking root in Yangzhou, how long will this Huo Hou stay in Yangzhou City? It stands to reason that a term of government, three years, then these three years, but this Yangzhou City is a good day! ”

"Where is this, how can Huo Hou be the chief official in our small city, isn't that overkill? Huo Hou's identity, released from the outside, is a feudal official, but he will not be trapped in a small city. ”

"Also, hey, Brother Zhou, don't let me guess with a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, what's going on, tell me about it! My brother just came from Yizhou, and his eyes were black! ”

That Brother Zhou was patient, and said, "At that time in the middle of the year, Huo Hou stopped in Yangzhou, closed the door, and made a secret visit, this day Huang Guiguan arrived in Yangzhou City, and the person who had a ghost in his heart could not panic, and Huo Hou's posture, he didn't participate in the banquet, nor did he go out to play, and he looked like he was staying and not leaving, so some people couldn't sit still, and asked the official wives to take care of Lu Weimang Lu, who went south with Huo Hou."

"Lord Lu, do you know?"

"Can I not know? Didn't I just say that? Just came from Yizhou, in fact, it was from the Qionglai Pass to get the goods back, Lu Weimang Lu assisted Huo Hou to open the Qionglai Pass, her name, brother is like thunder! ”

"Hey, coming from Qionglai, that brother made a fortune this time, right?!"

"Hey, little meaning. This is my small business, and it is far from those big businessmen! It's just a little bit. ”

On this person's face, his smile is about to bloom into a flower, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that he must have gained a lot from this trip.

When Brother Zhou saw this, he also moved his mind, and his tone was much more eager than the appearance of selling Guan Zi just now, "I heard that this Lord Lu Weimang Lu is not yet in his prime, his face is tender and his mouth is sweet, after these official wives have seen her once, they regard her as a target springboard to approach Huo Hou, and later, someone came forward to teach and seduce Lord Lu to go to the flower banquet." I heard that at the flower banquet, there was also a general judge, who sang and beat and showed up to say the law, just to scare Lord Lu. Who is Lord Lu? I won't be fooled by these women's words, and when I was angry, I put all those women in prison. Do you know what the charges are? The gang opened the kiln, hey, hey, the dignity of several lifetimes has been lost! ”

Zhou fanned the wind in front of his face with his palm, as if he hated iron but not steel, as if he had lost his face.

The merchant nodded, "Hey, I don't know Lord Lu's methods, it's normal for them to underestimate people." Those women, looking up every day, looked up at the boxy sky, thinking that their men were the whole world. But there is such a stomach of intrigue measurement, thinking that he has the means. Where do you know the mind and ability of Lord Lu? Let's just say that Qionglai, I didn't dare to go at first, but then I encountered difficulties, so I thought about going to Bo, and told Brother Zhou honestly, I almost didn't fold on the road. Later, when I came to Qionglai, I thought that it was the same as elsewhere, I had to find a relationship, and I said goodbye to the head snake, where do I know, does Brother Zhou of the Mabang know? One person has fifty or two pieces of money, Tong Su is not bullied, and he openly queues up to get the number, and when it is his turn to take us to the Muya grassland. Hey, I thought that my brother's little capital was not enough in Qionglai, and he couldn't open it, but who knows, he turned over in one trip. This is all thanks to Lord Lu and Huo Hou, the iron rules left behind. All the businessmen who have been to Qionglai, who is not grateful to these two? That is, Yangzhou is rich and far away from Yizhou, and no one can appreciate the prosperity and order of Qionglai with their own eyes, so they will underestimate Lord Lu. ”

The merchant said this with emotion and a little indignation, and someone listened to it that week's eyes were bright, and he became more and more attentive, "Brother, drink some water to dissipate your anger, I haven't finished talking yet." Those people were put together by Lord Lu and were imprisoned, Huo Hou took this as a breakthrough, and found that many people at this flower banquet were connected in private. Huo Hou Shunteng went down to investigate, and heard that there were secret letters from the barbarians in the northern Xinjiang, as well as traces of contact in the southern barbarian land of the East China Sea. ”

When Zhou said this, his voice was suppressed, and the merchant was taken aback, "How dare they?" ”

"Who's to say it isn't? I heard that in Yangzhou City, there was a rival when His Majesty fought the world, incognito, relying on the sky high Emperor Yuan, His Majesty did not spare his hands, bribed Yangzhou City with a lot of money, and also cultivated thin horses, won the hearts of the people, and wanted to be a soil emperor who no one cared about in this Jiangnan boundary. Huo Hou was in Kyoto, and found their clues, so he traced them down, after all, the crime of treason and rebellion has such a shadow of scales and half claws, and it cannot be let go. No, after Huo Hou found out, he put all the people involved in prison in prison, and those who dared to resist were killed on the spot. In the nights of Yangzhou City, the smell of iron permeated the whole city! ”

Listening to this person's low voice, Lu Weimang and Xiaoqiu glanced at each other, this matter has been circulated among the people more than a dozen versions, and the two of them are not surprised. The crime of rebellion is death, but His Majesty is merciful and does not want to implicate too widely and make Jiangnan unstable, so he instructed Huo Jing to deal with it in a low-key manner and only arrest the main culprit, so Huo Jing did not deal with it publicly. Otherwise, I'm afraid that Yangzhou City will be panicked, everyone is in a city, there is always some connection, the crime of rebellion, but, if it comes out publicly, it is estimated that it can scare a group of people to death.

It is precisely because of Huo Jing's low-key handling that Yangzhou City can be lively so quickly.

"Who else dares to resist Huo Hou?"

The merchant was amazed.

Not to mention Huo Hou's reputation for winning the northern frontier, Huo Hou represents the behemoth of the imperial court, which also makes people unable to resist.

"Hey, I know that if I catch it, I just want to fight. However, they were all besieged by Huo Hou in advance, and there was not much movement, and even the bloodstains were washed away by the guards overnight, and only a few nearby families heard it and spread it. If you want to say that Huo Hou is really worthy of the name of Na Nuoda, he is experienced and thoughtful, and he will do things in front of him, and at the most time that night, four or five families worked together to try to rush out of the city gate, but Huo Hou had no last resort and made dumplings in advance! ”

Zhou sighed, but the merchant nodded, "That's how it should be, Huo Hou's name is not blown out, it is played step by step." ”

This merchant has the power of Qionglai, and at this time, he seems to be incarnated as Huo Jing and Lu Weimang's brainless blowing, and the ability to say that the two of them are not as strong as mortals, as if they can predict everything in advance and everything can be settled as a half-immortal.

Zhou didn't refute it, but only poured wine for the merchants diligently, "The chief officials of Yangzhou City were arrested by Huo Hou, and now Huo Hou is temporarily in charge of the government affairs of Yangzhou City, and my brother respects Huo Hou and Lord Lu so much, so stay in Yangzhou City for a while, I don't know when, you can still meet on the street, take a look!" Brothers must do their best to entertain you for a few days. When the goods are scattered, you just need to bring your brother when you go to Qionglai next time, and your brother will be grateful! ”

Speaking of business, the merchant was reserved, "It's easy to say, I'm going to stay in Yangzhou City for a while, and I don't dare to think that when I meet Huo Hou and Lord Lu, we don't dare to think that when I can see the backs of the two, I will be happy enough in my heart." ”

It's like a little fan.

…

Lu Weimang and Xiaoqiu laughed secretly on the side, and after a brief meal, the two went back to the Jade Garden.

In the carriage back to Yuyuan, Xiaoqiu suddenly spoke, "Miss is a person, which is admirable, if a woman can be like Miss, she will live in vain." ”

Lu Weimang chuckled, "My original intention was just to do some practical things, and now I can make people read well, and I feel happy in my heart." ”

When the two of them returned home, Huo Jing had already returned to Yuyuan from the Yamen, and when he saw Lu Weimang returning from shopping, he said to Lu Weimang, "When the transferred county guard and others are in place, we will go back." ”

"Well," Lu Weimang nodded, "No hurry, I'm not in a hurry to do anything." ”

Lu Weimang held back a smile in her heart, since the last time she said that she wanted to return to Beijing as soon as possible, Huo Jing had already accelerated the progress of her actions for this, and secretly explained to her several times. These made Lu Weimang feel the sweetness of secretly poking in his heart.

It is not uncommon for her to remember the compromises of others after she emphasizes herself, and she only feels sweet and heartwarming for this kind of casual remark and a small thing in her daily life.

…

The weather is cooler, the air is dry, and before you know it, the summer has passed, and the sky has begun to fall.

"It's boring to be bored in the house all the time, right? Let's go around the city tomorrow, I heard that the red leaves on the south mountain outside the city are red early, let's go and see together. ”

After dinner that day, the two of them took a walk in the house to eat, Huo Jing said suddenly.

Lu Weimang was puzzled, "You wear many hats in the Yamen, do you have time to go out?" Let's wait for the successor to come. ”

Huo Jing didn't care, "The affairs of the yamen have been straightened out, and being an official is not about taking everything on yourself, choosing people to use, knowing how to use them, is more important than anything else." ”

Lu Weimang listened and raised his eyebrows, is this a show off in secret? But she is really excited, it is okay to be in the house in the summer day, but the weather is cool down at this time, the autumn is crisp, and if you don't go out to play, you are sorry for the lakes and mountains in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Well, I'm going to go around tomorrow."

Thanks to the dreamy feeling, the summer dawn monthly pass.
