Chapter 30 "City Lord Han Mingxiao"

"Sha'er, I was originally visiting the lake, but you ended up working as a coolie all afternoon, and you were tired. It's getting late, let's go home and rest. Stinky boy, row the boat to the shore, row me well, the boat will shake again, don't blame Lao Tzu for beating you! He said in a fierce tone.

"Okay, my father!" The high and low tactful tone reveals Pan's naughty and unhappy psychological fluctuations.

"What a tone, speak well to Lao Tzu!" Now Pan's father's throat was higher.

"Hmph... Not to be outdone, the boat under his feet honestly approached the shore.

Seeing Pan Jue's honest and aggrieved appearance, Han Sha's heart softened, and she said in a low voice, "Uncle Yue, don't be unmoved to train your brother in the future." ”

"Oh? Why? ”

"I feel like he's a little scared of you, and I don't want you to be like that."

Han Sha's words surprised him a little, and he faced Pan Jue's fierce expression and said with a smile, "Haha... Silly girl, he is afraid of me, I am his father, he respects me and respects me. My son, in this life, you can't be afraid of the sky or the earth, but you can only be afraid of one person."

"Afraid of a person... Who is he? Han Sha crossed her waist and asked without thinking.

"Hmm...", pretending to think about it seriously, replied seriously, "Of course it's my daughter-in-law!" ”

After hearing this, Han Sha was slightly stunned, and then lowered her head and said nothing, but two red glows rose on her cheeks, adding to her shyness as a girl.

The wonderful atmosphere was quietly triggered, and in this short silence, the boat had been gently docked, Han Sha seemed to flee and stepped onto the ferry first, her black hair flicked, and her bright eyes fell into Pan's desperate gentle gaze at the moment when she looked back, the red glow did not fade, her lips opened and closed, and she only said, "Brother Jue, send me home!" ”

"Good!" The four eyes are blended, and the dialogue is enough.

In this situation, the memory is traced, he seems to see himself back then, and he is not very happy in his heart. He hurried away, "Go, come back to the ashram and look for me, I have something else to tell you!" ”

……

Boom... Boom... Knock –

The evening bell rang, and the heavy humming slowly spread, and after a while, starting from the house lamps of the City Lord's Mansion, the lights of the Ice and Snow City were scattered and provoked.

In the spectacular scene of the game of light and darkness, one shows the life of the people in the city living and working in peace and contentment; In addition, the bell rings and lights on, highlighting the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation of diligence and thrift.

It is not so much that even the city lord's mansion cannot escape the cultural constraints of the Chinese nation, but it may be said that it encourages the people to abide by the excellent qualities of the Chinese nation by setting an example. Of course, at the same time, the Chinese nation is not pedantic, and a room in the city lord's mansion has been lit up before the evening bell rings, and judging from the two figures reflected on the window paper, the two people in this room are indeed discussing something.

"Report, my lord, Han Mingxiao is close to the plum garden."

"Okay, let's go down"

Han Xuanli, who was facing away from his back, turned around leisurely and said, "Han Tong, wait for the city lord to arrive, and then you can talk about it." Open the door and set the tea to greet you! ”

"Yes!"

The lord of the castle arrives in ——!

At the entrance of the garden, Han Mingxiao was the first to enter.

Seeing this, Han Tong immediately threw off his iron armor and knelt down on one knee, "Han Tong meets the city lord!" ”

"Yo, Han Tong, you're also there" Han Mingxiao's face changed and suddenly became peaceful, he held up Han Tong's hand and grabbed his wrist, and said with a smile, "I happened to have something to ask you, you are very good to save me from summoning, go, come into the house with me." ”

"Uncle! Uncle! You have a breakthrough hope, you can finally step into the next realm," Han Mingxiao's tone was full of excitement.

As soon as he entered the house, he turned his head and shouted, "Bring it up!" ”

"Yes!"

Staring at the cyan jade box held in the servant's hand, Han Mingxiao did not hide the excitement in her eyes at all, "Open it quickly!" ”

Slowly open the lid on the jade box, a white-stemmed blue umbrella Ganoderma lucidum appeared in the eyes of the people present, but without waiting for a few people to take a closer look, it was haunted by the frost and mist condensed by the air, this process naturally made people feel that the whole room was a little cooler.

"Uncle, please look, this thing is 'Bingque Hanzhi', look at the ten circles of threads on this umbrella According to the people of the Han Mansion, it was picked when the son of today, no more, no less, exactly ten years. Your current realm is stable in the Pulse Crossing Realm, and the 'Ice Technique' you have learned will definitely be able to go further. ”

Because Han Xuan arrived this morning, he really didn't know that there was a Bingque Hanzhi in the Han Mansion gift list, and it was inevitable that he would feel turbulent when he was close at hand. Han Mingxiao is right, he has been stationed in Xiaocheng for many years, and the five realms of the pulse refer to the two veins, the Chong pulse, the belt vein, the yin and yang seesaw vein, and the yin and yang vein. No matter how much Han Xuanli cultivated and impacted since the pulse was dredged, the belt pulse never moved at all, and the 'Bingque Hanzhi' might be an opportunity.

Han Xuanli's psychological ups and downs Han Mingxiao couldn't read it, but how could the change in the expression on his face escape his capture, "Uncle, you will never be polite to my nephew, you understand my cultivation method, and no matter if it is not suitable for me, even if it is suitable, this kind of treasure should be lived by the virtuous, you are the most respected person in our house, you must not refuse!" ”

"Okay, I'll take it. I'm afraid that Bingque Hanzhi can really help me break through" Han Xuanli didn't pretend to be a gesture, and said bluntly, "Mingxiao, you personally went to the plum garden to send me medicine, you are very affectionate, uncle Baixi; Since Han Tong is also here, you might as well sit down and listen to the handling of Han Tong's affairs last night, how about it? ”

"That's what I mean! Keep the medicine and you go back first," Han Mingxiao waved his sleeves, and then sat down next to Han Xuan.

"Han Tong, you tell the city lord all the original ones again." Han Xuanli commanded.

Han Tong nodded at Han Xuanli and Han Mingxiao respectively, and said, "City Lord, since the attack last night, I have drafted a thousand notices of relief and food distribution according to the orders of you and the old city lord, and the beggars are well-informed, so it spreads quickly. The granary prepares grain at the time of the granary, and the grain is opened at the time of the month, and there are 100 grains in the facility, and the number of people received is 13,069, and the number of people I have classified by the method of "the old, the young and the disabled". ”

Han Tong paused, looked at the two people who were listening, and after receiving Han Mingxiao's signal, he continued, "There are seven thousand three hundred and forty-seven concubines, three thousand and sixteen young children, and one thousand two hundred and fifty-three disabled people, according to the distribution of half a bucket of ordinary people, and one bucket of old and young people, a total of about 1,225 stones. As for those with disabilities, excluding the old and the young, those key suspects with disabled facial features but able-bodied limbs have been properly accommodated, and a series of interrogations will begin tomorrow. ”

"Well, the countermeasures that my uncle came up with have his experience and reasoning, so you just need to do it. I would like to add, Han Tong, you have to expand the interrogation group, random secret investigations, not just suspects, etc., just ask, if the assassins see through our intentions and have disguised themselves or have not come to receive food, any suspicious objects and clues cannot be spared. ”

"Although the investigation caused by the secret attack was unplanned, it also woke me up from a big dream like a morning bell and a dusk drum, and I couldn't help but be complacent about the people of the city living and working in peace and contentment for several years. I never thought that so many beggars would pop up, thirteen thousand and sixty-nine, this number is indeed ...... No wonder my uncle persuaded me that I could not finish catching it if I caught it. Han Mingxiao turned sideways, holding the back of Han Xuanli's hand and reflected.

"People's livelihood is the foundation of a city after all. Today, the rules of the Hundred Cities have changed, and the battlefield is cruel, and I don't know how many children can return completely, but children are the future of Ice and Snow City......" Han Mingxiao muttered to himself, and he turned his head sharply when his thoughts surged, "Han Tong!" The three thousand and sixteen immature children, accompanied by relatives, will be given a little care to their relatives, and those who have no relatives and no reason will be brought to the city lord's mansion, and those who have natural abilities will be cultivated well, and those who do not stay to do chores will not starve to death. Among the rest of the people, the old and disabled will be given food from time to time, and those of the appropriate age who are not disabled or sick, the men will be assigned to the barracks, and the female dependents will be handed over to Commander Ruan, believing that she can arrange it properly. "From talking to himself to commanding orders, as Han Bing commented, Han Mingxiao is a hero, he has means and ambitions, and he is also the people of the people; Whether he is ruthless or merciful, at least as the city lord at this moment, he is not derelict in his duties.

Han Xuanli bowed slightly, "I agree!" Hantong, the city lord orders you to just keep a low profile and don't make publicity. We can give them hope, but we can't fill them with hope. The so-called poor people must have something to hate, become beggars, even if there are some objective factors such as disasters and plagues, but there is no doubt that there must be some lazy people in them, I don't want the good intentions of the city lord to become their lazier help, if one day we no longer give food, there is even a risk of adding insult. ”

After a few mentions, Han Mingxiao smiled and said, "Yes, sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy, uncle, you can always think of a deeper level when you think about problems, with your assistance, my decision-making is always meticulous." Hantong, did you hear it clearly? ”

"Subordinates take orders!"

casually picked up the tea cup that had been standing for a while and took a sip, Han Mingxiao joked intentionally or unintentionally, "Tsk, uncle, this tea is a little old, I'm afraid you picked it last year, drink new tea in the New Year, it just so happens that there are several decent new teas in the gift list today, and I will send someone to send a few cakes to the plum garden." Well? Han Tong, do you have anything else to report? ”

"City Lord, at the moment, the 'Hundred Cities Competition' is a top priority, and all trivial matters have been put on hold for the time being, so there is nothing else."

"Good!" Han Mingxiao got up and said, "Uncle, you will recuperate with peace of mind in the next five days, and after five days, you will be full of energy and blood and then take Bingque Hanzhi, I will personally protect the Dharma for you, so that I will be the first person to witness your entry into Dacheng." ”

The words confided in Han Mingxiao's mouth, he can be said to have ulterior motives in the arrangement of time, first of all, the cold toad saliva stayed in the body for exactly seven days, and secondly, if he couldn't wait to take it tonight, it was inevitable that Han Xuanli would think of the injury he suffered from the attack last night, and the small injury on his neck almost healed five days later, and then the poison again, Han Xuanli's focus would definitely shift to the herbs, greatly reducing the suspicion of the attack.

"Mingxiao, everything is done." Han Xuan left the arch of his hand.

Han Mingxiao said with a smile, "Uncle, when you are successfully promoted, the strength of our City Lord's Mansion will increase a lot, and when the news spreads outside the city, the prestige of Ice and Snow City will also increase a lot." ”

"Hey, people are old, and the sharpness of their youth has long been worn out and no longer exists, I just wish to be promoted smoothly in response to your auspicious words, so I will be satisfied." Han Xuanli said calmly.

"Don't worry! Uncle, you are old and strong, your demeanor is still the same, and I hope you are well prepared on the morning of the seventh day of the new year, and I believe that the road to promotion is absolutely stable. That... Then you stay, and your nephew retires. ”

Han Mingxiao paced to Han Tong's side, stopped and reached out to pat him on the shoulder, "Han Tong, you see that the snow and wind have stopped tonight, and maybe tomorrow the snow will dance suddenly, it is really unpredictable." Mortal worries come from things that concern themselves, and they are so unpredictable, uncontrollable, and unpredictable. I am also a mortal and I am the same, give you a day, the results of the beggar's interrogation and the selection process of the hundred cities competition I hope you will tell me in time, especially the hundred cities competition, it must be reported from time to time! So thank you! Thank you very much! ”

"Congratulations to the Castle Lord!"

Seeing Han Mingxiao disappear, Han Xuanli sighed, "Han Tong, as the great commander of the City Lord's Mansion, your duty is to protect the City Lord and solve problems for the City Lord. And I'm not the city lord for a long time, everything in the future must be reported to Han Mingxiao first, and then to me, so that you can do it for a long time, understand? ”

Han Tong's expression froze, "Huh? Old city lord, this is the first thing to be told to you is the order of the city lord himself, do you remember? ”

"Hey, it's different now, just like Fang Cai, 'drink new tea in the New Year, the will of heaven is unpredictable', now he has slowly realized and cares about this, there are some things he can say that, but you can't do this, you know?"

"Yes! Subordinates understand! ”
