Chapter 160

The hot summer will always pass, as if in the blink of an eye, the winter wind and snow are close at hand.

The north wind howled at night, blowing away the thick clouds in the sky, revealing a clear sky, and the blue color made Ouyang's mood feel good for a while, and even the snowflakes that fell on the window edge looked particularly cute in his eyes.

Zhiyun put the navy blue cloak on Ouyang's shoulder, and the little daughter who was wrapped like a cotton ball also stood in front of the bed, and the cold wind outside the house blew in, making her shiver, but she didn't feel refreshed, sighed, and watched the white mist rise......

Now the two of them are in Yueyang, Hunan, where they live, this inn is opened by the royal family, and there is a bustling street market in front of the window, opposite the Hunan General Administration set up by the Department of Postal and Communications, Zhiyun looked from afar, only to see the postman wearing a dark blue uniform with a rucksack behind him, walking through the streets and alleys, these postmen are about to be very familiar, from time to time one or two uncles and aunts will come out to pull them to say a few words of gossip, stuff them with a few hot bags, and pour a bowl of hot tea.

Several children in thick winter clothes, while throwing snowballs, while chasing each other, after a while, actually came to Zhiyun's window, Zhiyun looked at their red little faces, smiled, kissed their baby daughter, then took a few strings of sugar gourds made in October to please the Lord, grabbed a few handfuls of popcorn, and handed them out to the children to satisfy their hunger.

I kept looking at the children and thanked them happily, cheered and ran away, before I exhaled and said with a smile: "Xianggong, since you have come to Yueyang, how can you not go to the world-famous Yueyang Tower?" ”

Ouyang patted his daughter-in-law's head, and a warm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Okay, I'll go to Yueyang Tower tomorrow." ”

However, they left Beijing this time, not just because Zhiyun was bored and wanted to play, and not just because Ouyang wanted to test Honghao's governing ability again, but because at the end of this summer, there were river bandits in Zhejiang, Li Wei took the lead, and was seriously injured when he led the troops to suppress the bandits, and the news was transmitted back to the capital, Ouyang sent the imperial doctor to Zhejiang to treat Li Wei's injuries, and he didn't plan to go to see it in person. I don't think it's a serious injury, it's enough to have a doctor.

However, Li Weishang's secret fold said that it was not ordinary bandits who made trouble, but like the salt lords, there were secret strongholds, and those bandits had complete bows and crossbows, and most of them knew kung fu, and they were all capable.

As soon as Zhiyun heard Ouyang say this, she became curious and pondered...... It can't be a legendary heaven and earth meeting, right? When I think of the Heaven and Earth Society, I think of that Chen Jinnan, and even think of Jin Lao - 'If you don't see Chen Jinnan in your life, it's in vain to call yourself a hero.'" ’

Although Chen Jinnan can no longer be seen now, it is not bad to look up to the 'Heaven and Earth Society' created by Chen Jinnan.

Because of pregnancy, Zhiyun, who hadn't left the Forbidden City for a long time, suddenly became wandering and planned to go to Jiangnan. This woman was also spoiled by Ouyang, and she refused to be wronged at all, thinking that one was one out.

Ouyang didn't plan to detain his daughter-in-law, the main reason why he wanted this position was to make his wife as comfortable as possible......

Anyway, he took advantage of his daughter-in-law's confinement to deal with all the government affairs that he had accumulated, and there were thirteen and Tai Honghao in Beijing, so there was no big incident...... Even if something big really happened, when he heard the news and returned, it would only take a blink of an eye to delay anything.

Simply, Ouyang took Zhiyun with his little daughter, and followed the light car, and only selected ten heavily armed guards from Ouyang's sticky pole and the floating city, and left the capital without even bringing the palace maids and eunuchs to wait.

Ouyang and Zhiyun were very concerned about Li Wei's injuries in the end, and they used the flying house to cheat along the way, and flew from Beijing to Zhejiang overnight, and even the imperial doctor didn't rush in front of them.

As a result, Li Wei's guy was comfortably nestled on the bed in the Governor's Palace, listening to the 'official drama', holding a wine cup in his hand, and drinking a little wine there.

Ouyang came suddenly, this little didn't even have time to put on clothes, and jumped out of bed to pick up the car with his coat on.

Staring at Li Wei, whose arms and legs were very complete, Ouyang couldn't help grinding his teeth, folding the miserable writing, and saying that he would die for a lifetime...... It seems that the next second is going to run out of breath.

Ouyang shook his head, ignoring Li Wei's embarrassment, "Hurry up and put on your clothes, and let your hostess wait for you outside?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Li Wei shrank his head, and hurriedly put his clothes on his body in the corner, but he couldn't help but slander in his stomach, this long-lived lord is really elusive, I don't know if he has the ability to fly away, otherwise how could he suddenly appear so suddenly to scare him......

If Ouyang and Zhiyun knew his thoughts, maybe they would have admired this little intuition, and he really guessed correctly, Ouyang and Zhiyun's abilities were almost the same as flying away.

Shocked to see the arrival of the Long Live Lord, Li Wei didn't panic, anyway, he is the protégé of the fourth master, and he still understands the temper of his master, this little thing is not enough to annoy the master.

Lilisoso put on his clothes, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to prepare hot water, and waited for the two lords to wash, and ordered the guards to be stationed, and they were all busy, and when they could settle down and talk, it was almost dark.

"Okay, let's talk about it, what is the origin of the Jiang bandit who seriously injured Master Li Wei and Li? It's really unbelievable that you can't write clearly on the fold. ”

Ouyang helped his wife to sit in the main seat, picked up a small snack that looked okay, and filled her belly, because the people didn't follow, and Ouyang and Zhiyun had to do the food and clothing along the way, I have to say, the so-called 'from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift', these two people are used to being served, they have always come to eat to open their mouths, clothes to stretch their hands, this is not served, even if it is only one night, although it has not become a mentally handicapped child, but nothing is right, it is very awkward.

Zhiyun took Ouyang's hand, ate a piece of pastry, drank two sips of hot tea, and muttered: "You have to adapt in the future, and you can't let them get used to these rich and noble problems in October." ”

The two of them are mages, and sooner or later they will have to leave the rich and exquisite life in the palace, although they can also make a few magical servants with constructs to take care of their lives in the future, but as mages, it is not a good thing to raise them too delicately.

Li Wei didn't know the thoughts of the two masters, and at this time he was still thinking about where to choose a few delicate and clean little girls and send them to serve the two masters.

"My long live lord, the minion is not pretending to be sick, look at it, the minion's injury is just right, and the bandage has not been removed." Li Wei raised his arm and licked his face to let Ouyang see the circle of gauze wrapped around his right arm.

Ouyang slapped it over, ignoring the pain he was crying out for when he jumped on his feet, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, be brief, tell me what's going on?" ”

It turned out that the Jiang bandits did make a lot of trouble, and Li Wei did lead troops to suppress the bandits, and he was even injured, but the injuries were not serious, this group of Jiang bandits is very familiar with the terrain of Zhejiang, and the members have high martial arts - "Long live the lord, it's not that the minions are not dedicated, it's really that this Jiang bandit is too cunning to touch their dens, as soon as the serious officers and soldiers arrive, they will disperse, and if they disperse, they will not be found......"

"Complain later...... I ask you, there must be a source of trouble, who are they? Why the fuss? Ouyang frowned, all dynasties and generations, Jiangnan is a heavy place to pay taxes, Ouyang did not dare to ignore Jiangnan in the slightest, when the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty entered the original place, countless bloody cases were committed in Jiangnan, so for many years, the Qing government has always appeased Jiangnan.

Ouyang did not regard himself as a Manchurian at all, and naturally did not have the complicated feelings of the emperors of the Qing Dynasty for Jiangnan.

It's just that in Kangxi's later years, because of his old age, illness, and lack of energy, his rule was too broad, and all the bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods came out to make trouble, Ouyang suppressed it fiercely, but all the corrupt officials he suppressed, and the local tyrants and bullies were also rectified, and the common people were definitely the ones who benefited......

"Master, everyone in the world knows that the officials in Jiangnan are the best at holding together, they are high in the sky, the emperor is far away, and they can't wait to be a soil emperor in Jiangnan, how many years, the officials in the entire Jiangnan are protégés, relatives and friends, willing to be with them' In recent years, the lord has issued new policies one after another, sifting through the Jiangnan officialdom piecemeal, supplementing a lot of new blood, and letting the local permanent supervision of the imperial history...... The minion's day is a little better. ”

Speaking of this, Li Wei took a breath, poured a teacup of tea, and then continued, "Jiangnan officials and gentry are one, colluding with each other, and have great power, where are they willing to give up the good country in their hands, and they have been competing with the minions, and the minions have just arrived, and they don't dare to fight with them. Therefore, it has always been a small fight, and there has been no major conflict. ”

"At the beginning of last month, the slaves got a secret report, there is a group of illegal salt dealers who have been rampant recently, the slaves sent people to follow, stabbed their old nest, investigated and dealt with a large private salt workshop, caught seventy or eighty people, and did not take it seriously at the beginning, in Jiangnan, there are many such private salt workshops, even if they are checked every day, they can't be checked, they are generally arrested, the crime is not big, pay a fine according to the law, and the workshop is sealed, and it is over. But I didn't expect that when the slave walked back with the prisoner, he actually met a large number of assassins, all of whom were good at martial arts, and the slave brought 300 soldiers with him, and he was stunned to let the family rush in and kill more than a dozen people, and also injured the slave's arm......".
