It is not difficult to find the Liaoxi County Guard, but the location of the Liaoxi County Guardhouse is very surprising to everyone.

The reason is the same, the group asked and asked, this place of the head of a county is not in the city, but outside the city!

On the way, Dongfang Chunsheng thought about this, and the more the old man thought about it, the more angry he became.

Good guy, did you Liaoxi County guard hide outside the city in order to hide from Qingjing? This is really speechless, the more Dongfang Chunsheng thinks about it, the more annoyed he becomes, he can't help but feel tiger step under his feet, scolding while walking, and the rest of the people dare not speak, dare not speak, and follow closely with low eyebrows.

Only a little ignorant muttered, "The old man is angry and doesn't let him speak, but he is suffocating!" ”

......

In the fields of the passenger line, the houses are all closed, and in the suburbs of Liangliao at dusk, there are few pedestrians, and the tourists are extinct, leaving dead vines and old trees in vain, and they are extremely desolate. When people traveled in Zhangwu County, which is known as 'Saibei Jiangnan', they did not find the barrenness of the frontier, and it was not until they saw this scene that they understood that Bozhou was a world of difference compared with the prosperous and wealthy Quzhou.

When the old man of the East arrived panting, he was surprised by the scene in front of him, and most of his anger suddenly disappeared, and he stood straight in place, looking at the scene in front of him, and his heart was full of emotion.

One or two miles outside the city, there are three or four rows of earthen houses, each row of five or six rooms, and each room has seven or eight people.

Under the oil lamp, the people in the house, all in official uniforms and hats, bowed their heads and were busy back and forth.

If it weren't for the big brand of the Liaoxi County Guard Mansion and the Liaoxi County Guards who could barely be regarded as spiritual, passers-by would have thought that this was a bandit who planned to set up another mountain on the Dahan River.

If it was the Red Gate Zhu Courtyard in front of Dongfang Chunsheng, Dongfang Chunsheng would definitely be merciless and beat hard, but looking at the tattered loess wall in front of him, Dongfang Chunsheng paced back and forth instead, he couldn't think about whether to enter or not! Is this county guard derelict in his duties or is there something else hidden?

"Oh, old man, right or wrong, don't you know when you go in? Hesitating in front of the door is nothing more than a mediocrity disturbing himself. Xia Qing saw Dongfang Chunsheng's thoughts, and stepped forward to fight again.

Although Xia Qing and Liu Quansheng are brothers, the two are also talented people, but their personalities are very different, Liu Quansheng is like a sharp thunder tiger, speaking and doing things vigorously, while Xia's head is like a sponge, always able to handle everything very smoothly, and it is exquisite.

"That's right!" Dongfang Chunsheng muttered to himself, and then, the old man took the lead in pushing open the creaky wooden door and walked in.

At this time, it was almost the end of the Shen period, the sky was dark, except for the officials, the county guard had no people in and out, this pair of young girls, a monk, two strange young people, and an old man came, so that the first row of loess houses came from whispers, and there were many discussions.

Dongfang Chunsheng casually grabbed a passing subordinate scholar and asked politely, "Cough!" Excuse me, who is the county guard? ”

The subordinate Shuzuo said softly, "Old gentleman, find the head of the township for township affairs, find the county magistrate for county affairs, find Tian Cao for grain affairs, find thief Cao for stealing things, and look for the head of a county. ”

Dead Shichen stepped forward to speak, "I'm tired of telling the county guard, the person who killed Jin Zhao is here!" ”

In the loess house where the sound could be heard, there was a burst of surprise, many people were itching in their hearts, and they poked their heads out.

After a while, a man hurriedly ran out of the loess house, and saw that his face was like an autumn moon, his temples were like knife cuts, his bones were rough, his robe was yellow and his shirt was yellow, and his waist was equipped with a silver seal.

"Haha! In Xia Su Ran, the word is fierce, it is the county guard of Liaoxi County, all righteous people, please inside! Let's talk in the house. Su Ran clenched his fists, turned to one side, made a gesture of please, and after everyone returned the salute one by one, he followed Su Ran into a loess house in the center.

Although the house is loess, but the office utensils in the house are readily available, the case is full of files, the flame of a green sheep and green rattan oil lamp floats back and forth, illuminates the room brightly, a loess kang is full of sundries, there is no lack of some Confucian and Taoist classics, the left wall is hung with a set of official clothes and regular clothes, the right wall is placed with a horse whip short sword, there is a book in the inner room who bows his head to copy, there is no distraction, and he turns a blind eye to the arrival of everyone.

Everyone sat down ......, in fact, there was no idle place for everyone to sit down, a few people just found a few corners to rely on, Dongfang Chunsheng and Su Ran sat next to the desk, and before waiting for politeness, Su Ran cut in and said bluntly, "Old gentleman, everyone, the county guard is really poor, and it is also busy with official business, if you have no entanglement so far, you are willing to pay one or two, if you have other matters, please explain, as for this move to see me in the name of killing Jin Zhao, don't do it again." Jin Zhao has many henchmen in Liaoxi County, and talking about this kind of thing is on his lips, and he is afraid of causing trouble. ”

First of all, Su Ran bluntly said that he was busy with official business and had no intention of arguing with everyone; secondly, he showed the suspicion of the authenticity of the killing of Jin Zhao in the mouths of the public; Finally, he advised a few people to keep their mouths open, lest evil come out of their mouths.

Dongfang Chunsheng, as the elder in the group, naturally asked Shuai to speak first, the old man's tone was a little stiff, obviously suppressing his anger, and said in a muffled voice, "Master Su is quick to talk, and the old man will no longer go around the bend and go around in circles." The old man traveled here with his apprentices, there was no need for money, and there was no urgency, Jin Zhao was indeed killed by the hero behind me. Today's trouble, not to bring merit and invitation, but to ask for the people of Liaoxi, since the adults know that the beggar Ling helped Jin Zhao colluded with Wuci General Le Er, why didn't he take precautions earlier? Could there be something else going on here? ”

Su Ran's eyes rolled, but he was not in a hurry to do things perfunctorily, and set up a maze array with Dongfang Chunsheng, and said perfunctorily, "Oh, you don't know, this Liaoxi County is poor!" Behold, this county guard is so dilapidated in this mansion, let alone the poor? Jin Zhao and Le Er are models of the military and civilian family, you see, many people are willing to donate soldiers and food, these two have really made outstanding contributions to my Liaoxi County. ”

Dongfang Chunsheng crossed his eyebrows coldly, and was about to have a seizure, but was held down by Xia Qing, who was standing behind him, and saw him dragging Dongfang Chunsheng, and Su Ran stood in opposition to Su Ran, "Oh? According to the meaning of Lord Su, the people of Xihualou today exchange valuable things for the so-called non-disturbing card, and the people are also spontaneous? If it is spontaneous, then how can I see this hungry and wood-eating village, when squeezing out the grain and giving it, everyone has a sad face? ”

Su Ran continued to giggle, "Huh? When was that? The county guard is busy with official business, and he doesn't know it! Oh, look at my hospitality, come on, hurry up and serve some food. ”

"The wind is fierce and the grass is strong, and the powerful are virtuous. Although the book is full, it is better to have a bag of money. Ignoring the people's livelihood and cold-eyed people's livelihood, how can you, your parent official, be a citizen? ”

Dongfang Chunsheng didn't suppress his anger after all, and began to reprimand.

The scabbard of the dead soldier moved slightly, and it seemed that he was already angry, ready to rely on force to speak.

Liu Yi gently tugged on the sleeve of the dead Shichen, and said in a low voice, "Master, don't worry, the show has just begun." ”
