On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, at noon, the sun was thick.

Under the guidance of Gongsun Haojin, Liu Yi and his entourage drizzled through the heavy snow, turned seven times and eight times, and finally stood at the south gate of Zhangwu County, Zhangwu County.

As a county governance office alongside the administrative level of Lingyuan City, Zhangwu City has its own merits, as stated in the "Hanlu City Construction Chapter": the state governance office, ten miles square; Those who assist the city are eight miles square; The county seat is six miles square; The county is four or five miles square. The Central Finance and Decision-making Department allocates funds in a unified manner, and the Prime Minister's Office, the Prefecture Pastoral Office, and the General Bureau supervise the construction, and cannot be changed without violating the system.

The Zhangwu City of these six miles square, suddenly rises from the ground on the north side of the Lingyuan Mountain Range, is built is majestic and magnificent, the atmosphere is magnificent, the city defense equipment on the city has everything, the moat is deep and wide, especially the word 'Zhangwu' on the city gate, you can directly feel the fierce folk style of Saibei and the atmosphere of the sword soldiers who are always ready for war.

This magnificent Zhangwu City, compared with Lingyuan County, the seat of Huaxing County, Liu Yi's hometown, Lingyuan City's urban construction and urban defense seem to be small!

Several people stood at the gate of the city, and they really sighed, until Liu Yi shuddered, and Gongsun Haojin was full of energy, waved his little hand, and shouted 'Open the city gate'.

The gates were very obedient, creaked, and opened.

When he arrived at his own territory, the third son of Gongsun swept away his bad luck, put his hands behind his back, held his head high, moved lightly in small steps, and walked in leisurely.

"Not to mention, these few steps of this good skin bag with the appearance of a human dog really have a lot of style!"

Young and always frivolous, Dongfang Yu has been chattering all the way, and she has not stopped talking until now.

Liu Yi quipped as he walked, "Hehe! What Yumei said is true, but the skin of these three sons is slightly inferior to Yixian, let alone me! Ha ha. ”

Yixian was very displeased with Liu Yi's cheekiness, and he said at the right time, "Tui! It's as black as a piece of charcoal, and it's shameless to compare with others! ”

Dongfang Yu's mouth grinned, and he was about to reply, when suddenly there was a beggar looking like a young man on the opposite side, running straight to the south gate, and the county soldiers hurriedly planned to stop the young man, but because the young man's pace was too fast, he didn't have time to fork the young man, and watched the beggar rush straight towards the people who were about to enter the city.

Dead Shichen hurriedly shouted 'Hurry up', and the group dodged left and right in unison, and a small path was suddenly vacated in the center of the city gate. Just when the beggar-looking young man was about to pass by everyone, Liu Yi took out a handful of fruit in his arms and stretched out his hand to the path, and the young man grabbed it and ran out of the city!

"Mother! This is a master! Dead Shichen sighed twice, looking at the young man who was running farther and farther, "At a young age, his kung fu is so good, he must be a martial arts wizard, if he meets a good teacher, he will cultivate hard, and he will become a generation of martial arts masters in the future." ”

"Son, don't you send someone after you? If the child is also infected with the plague, if it is infected, wouldn't it be a bad thing? Dongfang Chunsheng looked at Gongsun Haojin and was a little worried.

"The predecessors didn't know, although the infected person felt a little weak at the beginning, the whole body had sores, but the onset of the disease was fast, beyond imagination, the infected person, one hour, must be the whole body red, two hours, must be paralyzed and fall to the ground, as for life and death, it is only between seven or eight days, if the physique is slightly worse, one day and one night will die. If this kid had been infected with the plague, he would have been too weak to move, and it would have been impossible for him to run so fast! So I concluded that the boy was not infected with the plague and was a man of good health. Besides, running one does not affect the overall situation! ”

Gongsun Haojin pretended to be clever and finished speaking, wrapped the fox fur in his hand, skillfully took a few pieces of white cloth mixed with wine and medicine from the hands of the guards and handed them to everyone.

For Gongsun Haojin's rhetoric, the group gave different feedback, Xia Qing and Death Shichen felt that it was not important to run a normal person, Dongfang Chunsheng and Yixian felt that it was a bit hasty to lock down the city like this, and the group was noisy and noisy.

In the city, there is no hardship and hardship as everyone thinks, the streets are orderly with pedestrians, there are people in the market, there are customers in wine shops, and every family has meat.

Gongsun Haojin continued to raise his head and his hands behind his back, and led everyone through the market with a high spirit, among which there were many small ruffians who flattered and called 'Brother Gongsun', and there were also many farmers who shouted 'Little Master Gongsun' honestly, Gongsun Haojin's face showed a look of an elder who had seen through the vicissitudes of the world, and waved his hand and nodded in response.

Walking to a sparsely populated open space, Gongsun Haojin sighed heavily and said, "According to custom, the market should have opened on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year to break the taboo, but this year's big plague, in order to make a living for hundreds of workers, Lord Fan took a special exception and allowed the market to open on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, so that the poor people could earn some food." ”

Gongsun Haojin silently turned around and said in a low voice, "The happy lady who sells cloth shoes, the cloth shoes are really not very good, but the roast chicken is a must, but it's a pity, I was infected with the plague a few days ago, and I went west yesterday morning!" I had a couple of good playmates and they were gone! This damn plague doesn't know what will pass. ”

The people who had just been aroused by the lively atmosphere of the bazaar were depressed again by Gongsun Haojin's sorrow, and they were silent.

Liu Yi walked to Gongsun Haojin's side, frowned and asked, "Brother Gongsun, since ancient times, the Great Plague has always had to close the door and cut off the fireworks in order to control the situation and wait for good news. ”

Gongsun Haojin looked like an elder, and the two big black dogs behind him also followed with a deep posture, and he pretended to be mysterious, "This plague is not contagious, but it is unknown why it started, so Fan Da dared to open the forbidden market." Different things should have different methods, Brother Liu, you still haven't experienced enough! ”

"Phew! My brother Yi has read more books than you have eaten, and the road this girl has walked is longer than the noodles you have eaten, so I don't play with the old lady here, believe it or not, I knocked out your front teeth. ”

Gongsun Haojin may just be joking, but seeing that Young Master Kuo, who had only known him for less than half a day and was useless, dared to make fun of her brother Yi like this, Dongfang Yu was unhappy, and immediately opened his teeth and claws to him, revealing his 'tiger teeth'.

"I..., this son rarely eats noodles, after all, there is wine and meat, who eats noodles?"

Gongsun Haojin, who has always been arrogant and domineering, met the barbaric and domineering Dongfang Yu, and he was not very convinced, but after a short contact, he didn't understand the details and temperament of the other party, and he didn't know how to answer at once.

"Who cares how you eat every day, you just eat bran and drink thin, and it has nothing to do with this girl!" Dongfang Yufeng's eyes widened, and he crossed his waist with a look of disdain.

Gongsun Haojin was angry with the seven orifices, and he couldn't say it, and he couldn't win the fight.

In a fit of rage, he shouted, 'Follow me to find Master Fan,' and then brushed his sleeves away.

Compared with the city, Huaxing Lingyuan City is slightly inferior, but compared with the mansion, this Zhangwu County Guard Mansion can be regarded as a grass chicken than a phoenix compared to the Huaxing County Guard's Mansion that should be known.

After entering the main entrance, everyone felt that this mansion was full of the word 'dilapidated', which contrasted with the prosperity of the brocade on the street, and it seemed a little out of place, if it were not for the small officials who came and went in the house, no one would believe that this was the county guard of Zhangwu County, the richest county in Bozhou.

According to Gongsun Haojin on the way, the county guard and the county government barracks are all here, self-contained inner city, the sound of shouting and killing drills during the day has never been interrupted, in recent years, Fan Tingnan has spent more money on raising soldiers and training soldiers and purchasing farming tools, and has spent very little on repairing the mansion, so it is no wonder that the county guard mansion is old and has no façade.

Whether the shoes fit or not, only the feet know; The ruler is not for the people, only the people know.

Fan Tingnan did not seek superficiality but sought practical results, and this move deeply won the support of the people and officers and soldiers!
